Benchmark dialog
Inform – discuss – network: Under this motto, our cross-industry network meeting “Lurse Benchmark Dialog” takes place every year in spring. With this event, we offer a platform for
- the examination of current compensation data and trends, based on our comprehensive database
- stimulating discussions of relevant HR topics from your daily practice
- individual and informal networking with colleagues from the HR sector
The exchange circle is opened by a keynote speech on a relevant focus topic. In subsequent workshops with Lurse speakers, the HR experts will be able to engage in meaningful discussions on real-life practice in smaller groups.
All participants of our compensation benchmarks are cordially invited to this network meeting! For all those who participate in the Cross Industry Benchmark, the meeting is included.
The next Benchmark Dialog will take place in February/March 2023. Feel free to contact us at benchmark@lurse.de if you are interested.
