title: Compensation vs. benefits: who gets paid more? A new survey analysis reveals the answer and possible causes.
abstract: There is a discrepancy in pay between benefits and compensation professionals. These authors report on the results of a survey that measured the discrepancy and suggest possible reasons for the difference. They observe that, if benefits professionals are to reach pay equity with their compensation counterparts, they may need to play a strong role in helping organizations recognize the importance of benefits as a component of total reward strategy.
