Given the competitive labour market, changing compensation structures, and strategic corporate initiatives, including DEI and pay equity, every company must reconsider its rewards strategy, writes beqom.

“We are thrilled to partner together with Sumeru to build a global standard for total compensation management. We feel strongly that Sumeru is the right fit as an investor, bringing not only capital but proven expertise and a perfect match in company cultures,” he adds.
