Manager Comp Coach
Practical, real-time AI guidance for managers navigating merit decisions, counter-offers, pay conversations, and sensitive compensation topics.
Every manager becomes a compensation expert
Merit Decision Guidance
AI helps managers allocate merit budgets fairly — considering performance ratings, compa ratios, internal equity, and retention risk. No more guesswork with limited budgets.
Pay Conversation Prep
Prepare for pay discussions with employees — talking points, anticipated questions, and response frameworks. Handle difficult conversations about below-expectation increases with confidence.
Counter-Offer Coaching
When an employee brings a competing offer, managers get real-time guidance on evaluation, response strategy, and retention considerations — without escalating every case to HR.
Guidance for every compensation situation
Merit Allocation
Limited budget, competing priorities. AI helps managers distribute merit fairly — considering performance ratings, compa ratios, internal equity, retention risk, and budget constraints simultaneously.
Counter-Offer Navigation
When an employee brings a competing offer, panic isn't a strategy. AI provides a structured evaluation framework — offer analysis, retention assessment, response options, and escalation guidance.
Sensitive Conversations
Below-expectation increases, compensation freezes, deferral explanations, and clawback provisions. AI provides conversation frameworks with empathetic, clear language for the hardest pay discussions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Manager Comp Coach work?
Managers ask compensation questions in natural language and receive practical guidance — merit allocation strategies, pay conversation preparation, counter-offer response frameworks, and explanations for deferrals or clawback provisions. It's like having a compensation expert available 24/7.
Does the Coach have access to actual compensation data?
The Coach provides guidance frameworks and conversation strategies. For specific pay data (compa ratios, budget allocations), it works alongside the Base Pay Management module where actual compensation data lives.
Can the Coach help with banking-specific compensation topics?
Yes. Including malus provisions, clawback explanations, deferred compensation vesting, and regulatory compliance conversations — critical for SAMA and CBUAE regulated institutions.
