    Learn to Unlock Your Compensation

    5.0

    I found the course to be very informative for those in the high profile positions. However, I am more interested in the lower income individuals who only make $10.00 to $12.00 an hour for large companies; when employees quit and those left are having to do the job of 2 to 3 employees, along with opening and closing without an increase. The starting off salary itself is too low.

    Organized and Informative

    5.0

    I’ve worked in people management in the government/nonprofit sector for about 7 years but I am not in a formal HR role. I found Daniel’s content in this course to be organized, clearly communicated, and informative . Some of the content validated my preexisting insights, but the level of detail really added clarity to HR considerations, processes, and systems related to compensation, particularly in the private sector.
