With the right compensation strategy, your organization can gain a competitive edge in your market, cut compensation costs, and retain talent for longer.

But choosing a compensation strategy gets complicated when you have remote employees scattered across countries and continents.

In this guide, we’ll explore four common remote employee compensation strategies:
