Wrong compensation decisions cost companies millions – lost hires, wasted budgets, top talent walking out the door. All because they’re navigating with a broken compass: inaccurate benchmarks. With payroll accounting for over 70% of operating costs, businesses can’t afford to get compensation wrong.

That’s why 1,500 companies – such as Adyen, Wise, and Octopus Energy – trust Ravio as the new standard for compensation benchmarking.

It’s not about yesterday’s survey data or piecing together job postings, salary sites, and crowdsourced reports with AI. Ravio benchmarks are powered by live data pulled directly from company HR systems, which is expertly mapped and levelled by our compensation specialists, and backed by a robust methodology you can defend in any boardroom. Flexible enough to align with your strategy, but rigorous enough to stand up to scrutiny – a true quality-first benchmark.

Ravio

A market data subscription gives you numbers. It doesn't tell you which numbers matter for your business.

Pick the wrong peer group and you end up chasing a market that isn't yours – benchmarking against companies three funding rounds ahead, or a geography where the talent pool, cost of living and expectations look nothing like your own. The data looks precise. The decisions built on it aren't.

Andreea Lupu and Juan Novoa have both built and defended benchmarking approaches in practice, and they'll bring that experience to the conversation.

This session will cover:

*   Choosing meaningful peer groups: industry, company size, geography and funding stage
*   Common benchmarking mistakes, and how to spot them before they shape a pay decision
*   Applying market data within your own compensation philosophy, rather than letting the data set the philosophy for you

Expect practical frameworks and honest conversation – and plenty of time to raise your own questions or experiences too.
