Salary won't be enough: DataArt's case for total rewards
From Beyond the Paycheck · 20:03
Show by Aura Finance
SummaryJulia Zavileyskaya, Chief People Officer and partner at DataArt, joins host Kelsey Willock on Beyond the Paycheck to explain why salary alone will not be enough. Julia has spent more than 20 years at DataArt, an international technology company with more than 6,000 professionals, and has had several careers inside it, starting from a first IT job as a support manager at an internet provider in the late '90s. She describes how the war in Ukraine reshaped what supporting the whole employee means, from relocation to new processes, and why no company can solve every problem in a person's life but it can be a true partner. Julia covers the shift from a benefits catalogue to a wider contract between company and employee, how certifications help demonstrate expertise to clients and support employees’ professional development. Internal mobility gives colleagues new opportunities while reducing recruitment and onboarding costs and the risk of hiring the wrong candidate.Chapters00:00 Intro00:42 Meet Julia Zavileyskaya02:15 First IT job and first paycheck03:25 What being an HR leader means04:36 Supporting people through the war in Ukraine06:45 Moving beyond a benefits catalogue07:45 Measuring people support and client value10:10 Certifications and internal mobility12:32 Lessons from benefits and mentoring programs13:54 Staying current with Coursera and UNLEASH15:32 Financial well-being across countries17:38 Supporting employees who relocate18:35 Why salary alone won't be enough19:32 Closing thoughtsTakeaways- No company can solve every problem in a person's life, but it can be a true partner; setting the right level of expectations is part of total rewards.- Total rewards is more than compensation and benefits: learning, internal mobility, reskilling and relocation belong in the same conversation.- In a services business, employee experience shapes the service clients receive, so people investment ties directly to client value.- Certifications and internal mobility make the internal case easier: they prove expertise to clients and cut recruiting, onboarding and mis-hire risk.- A global company can't assume one size fits everyone; financial support has to be tuned to each country, from currency swings to new tax systems.Connect with the GuestJulia Zavileyskaya LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliazavileyskaya/Company Website: https://www.dataart.comSponsorAura Finance helps you simplify compensation and benefits planning by bringing everything into one streamlined platform.
