Syndio And Compa Introduce Integrated Compensation View For Fair And Competitive Pay Offers

Compa's integration within Syndio's Pay Finder™ delivers real-time market benchmarks alongside internal equity insights, helping compensation teams make fast, fair, and consistent pay decisions from day one.SEATTLE, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Syndio, the industry pioneer in global, fair pay solutions, announces an integration between its Pay Finder™ solution and Compa, the largest network for real-time offer and employee market data. The integration gives compensation and talent acquisition teams a unified view of equitable pay ranges, internal compensation guidance, and real-time market data.Available now in early access, the integration solves one of the biggest challenges in compensation: how to make fast, fair, and market-informed pay decisions in fast-moving, regulated environments. Displaying three critical data sources in a single view – Syndio's equitable pay range, the company's internal pay range, and Compa's real-time market benchmarks – brings unprecedented clarity and speed to salary decisions for every new hire, promotion, or transfer."The integration of Compa's data into Pay Finder™ provides us with more valuable insights at the moment decisions are made," said Athar Siddiqee, VP of Global Total Rewards at Micron Technology. "By being able to view dynamic market data alongside our internal and equitable ranges, we're able to move faster, make more consistent and appropriate decisions, and avoid surprises down the line."Pay Finder's™ new capabilities are valuable to compensation and talent acquisition (TA) teams who want to simplify offer collaboration, streamline approvals, and improve consistency in pay decisions. The integration makes it easier to align pay decisions with equity and transparency goals, whether to meet internal commitments or regulatory requirements, while also keeping pace with the market using real-time data rather than traditional surveys."Our customers trust Syndio to help them stay ahead of evolving pay transparency regulations and deliver on their commitments to pay equity," said Maria Colacurcio, CEO of Syndio. "This integration brings fairness and competitiveness together — helping companies go beyond analysis and reporting to bake equity into every pay decision.""Fair and competitive pay shouldn't be at odds, they should work hand in hand," said Charlie Franklin, CEO of Compa

Costco, Amazon, Microsoft Chart Their Own Dei Paths As Trump Targets Diversity Efforts

(Bigstock Image)As President Trump issues directives to scuttle every federal government initiative that promotes diversity, equity and inclusion, tech giants and other businesses across the Pacific Northwest are charting their own DEI courses.Costco and Microsoft are being recognized nationally for retaining a public commitment to workforce diversity, with Costco shareholders on Thursday defeating an anti-DEI proposal by a 98% vote. At the same time, Amazon in December shared with employees that it was “winding down” some of its efforts in diversity and inclusion, but still viewed the work as “important.” Boeing has pulled back even further, reportedly dismantling its DEI team.Efforts to support more equity in the workforce are under attack by Republicans and activists who characterize it as “reverse discrimination” that is unfair — particularly to white men — and puts race and gender ahead of merit when making employment decisions.The murder of George Floyd in 2020 sparked DEI initiatives across corporations, but the 2023 U.S. Supreme Court decision banning affirmative action in higher education and the increasing anti-diversity rhetoric from conservative leaders have caused some employers to reverse course.Companies such as Meta, Target, Walmart, and others that have rolled back their diversity programs said they did so because DEI has become so politically charged. They also cited changes in how the courts are legally viewing DEI, and they say they can support widespread inclusion in their workforce through different programs.In its memo to employees, Meta — which no longer has a team focused on DEI — said that it would stop using the “diverse slate approach” for hiring. “This practice has always been subject to public debate and is currently being challenged,” Meta said. “We believe there are other ways to build an industry-leading workforce and leverage teams made up of world-class people from all types of backgrounds to build products that work for everyone.”Amelia Ransom, who has led workplace diversity efforts at Smartsheet, Avalara and Nordstrom, questioned the initial motivation for businesses who are dropping DEI efforts.“The companies that have pulled back on DEI, some of them were using DEI as an insurance policy, not a strategic initiative,” Ransom said.For businesses in the “insurance policy” mindset, inclusion efforts were a shield against the risk of public criticisms that they didn’t support diversity, she said
