Hi Beautiful Leaders,

Today’s webinar with Michael Cole opens up a transformative conversation around what modern, top-tier compensation truly can look like. We'll explore advanced external strategies like:
✨ Deferred compensation
✨ Key-man insurance
✨ Long-term bonus structures
✨ Phantom equity and other high-stick incentives

These tools aren’t just financial mechanisms—they’re long-term commitment builders. They send a clear message to top performers: Your future is safe here. Your growth matters here.

We'll also discuss how employee retention isn’t only shaped by long-range financial planning. It’s also shaped by what your team experiences every single day inside your company.

This is where the Benefits Wallet™ concept brings creative compensation strategies that deepen long term career building to life.

How the Benefits Wallet™ Complements Advanced Compensation

The Benefits Wallet™ is your internal scalable benefits package infrastructure that's simple, growth-minded, and personalized.

Each team member receives a benefits budget aligned to:

Career ladder Placement
Pay Plan Level
Tenure
Contribution

Rather than rigid, generic perks, the Benefits Wallet™ empowers your team to select the benefits that matter most to them:
• Wellness/Health perks/Advanced Compensation methods
• Performance based/Advanced Paid time off
• Professional development
• Retail/service discounts
• Tools, education, amenities, or support programs

This creates a benefits experience that feels flexible, fair, and luxurious that grows each person in your company grows.

And when you pair this with the external strategies Michael will introduce today, you create a compensation ecosystem that builds both emotional loyalty and long-term commitment.

That’s the foundation of true retention.
That’s how you build a company where incredible people stay, thrive, and choose to build their careers.

With you in leadership and elevation,

Nikki Le
