SUMMARY:ASE 2026 Compensation Survey Briefing
DESCRIPTION:Discover the key findings from the ASE 2026 Compensation Survey at our West Michigan briefing. \nWe’ll go beyond the numbers to interpret what’s driving pay decisions\, linking wage movement to inflation pressures\, labor market shifts\, and ongoing economic uncertainty. Along the way\, we’ll unpack the workforce dynamics shaping compensation strategy\, including hiring demand\, turnover patterns\, and evolving employer trade-offs. Attendees will leave with practical guidance to benchmark their organization against the market\, identify where they are over- or under-positioned\, and make more confident\, strategically aligned pay decisions. 467 Michigan organizations particpated in the survey\, with 20% doing business in the West Michigan region. \nA Q/A Rountable will follow the presentation. \nThis briefing will be held at the GVSU Innovation Hub in Muskegon\, Mi.
