Collaboration aims to provide enterprise compensation teams with a more comprehensive view of market pay by combining traditional survey data with live offer intelligence.
Global advisory and solutions company WTW has announced a partnership with compensation intelligence platform Compa. The collaboration is designed to integrate two distinct types of pay data: WTW's established global compensation survey benchmarks and Compa’s real-time market data sourced from job offers.
The partnership comes as organizations face increasing pressure from volatile labor markets and expanding pay transparency laws. This environment requires compensation teams to make quick, competitive hiring decisions while also maintaining long-term, structured pay strategies for governance and planning. By combining these two data sources, the companies aim to address the need for both agility and stability in compensation planning.
"Compensation teams are no longer choosing between published compensation survey or real-time data—they need both," said Erica Johnson, Head of Rewards Data Intelligence North America at WTW. "This partnership ensures pay strategies are both responsive and grounded, helping organizations compete in today’s market."
Under the partnership, clients will be able to use WTW’s survey data for foundational activities like annual pay reviews and long-term planning, while leveraging Compa’s live offer insights to react to immediate market shifts and competitive hiring situations. The stated goal is to provide a more complete and defensible view of market pay that can be used to inform day-to-day hiring decisions and build evidence-based compensation narratives for executives and employees.
"WTW provides the foundation of global benchmarks, while Compa delivers the agility of live market signals," said Charlie Franklin, CEO of Compa. "Together, compensation leaders get the intelligence they need to guide pay with clarity and confidence."
This move reflects a broader industry trend toward hybrid data strategies in compensation, where companies blend traditional, structured survey data with more dynamic, real-time information to inform their pay decisions.
