Haris Ikram, Co-Founder at CandorIQ, joined us on The Modern People Leader.  First, he interviewed us about how we got into the HR space and times we’ve noticed “the system” to be broken. Then, he shared how we can empower managers to have pay conversations, the insights they need to turn those talks into performance conversations, and how you can be more proactive about pay increases. ---- Get the Pay Transparency Playbook: https://www.candoriq.com/resources/pay-transparency-playbook ---- (1:45) Good news stories (7:07) Haris interviews us (8:07) How we got into the HR & People space (14:50) Examples of times where we’ve noticed “the system” is broken (23:16) Examples of times when the system has worked (30:00) Stephen’s biggest learnings from interviewing over 100+ people leaders (33:00) How Haris got into the HR Tech world (35:30) The products need to work for the people team versus the other way around (36:20) The most difficult thing about being a founder (37:30) What CandorIQ does and why we should be jealous he gets to work there (41:02) Equipping managers to have conversations about pay (43:22) What makes talking about comp so hard (46:47) The insights you need to turn pay conversations into performance conversations (50:00) Understanding churn risks within your team  (54:05) How to be more proactive with pay increases (56:40) How remote and global work has changed pay over the last 3 or 4 years (59:00) Moving pay data out of spreadsheets (1:01:06) Rapid fire questions ---- 📬 Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get key learnings & career advice from Modern People Leaders 💡 Follow The Modern People Leader on LinkedIn 😊 Follow Daniel Huerta on LinkedIn 😊 Follow Stephen Huerta on LinkedIn
