Skills Over Degrees: Bell TechLogix CHRO Amy Graves on Pay Equity, Benefits, and AI SummaryIf employees don’t understand their total rewards, even fair pay can feel unfair. Amy Graves, Chief Human Resources Officer at Bell TechLogix, shares how she bridges the gap between intention and understanding in compensation and benefits. With 25+ years across nonprofit, manufacturing, life sciences, and IT, Amy brings a pragmatic lens shaped by small-business roots, a global workforce, and a bias for action. She explains why pay equity demands measurement and follow-through, how plain-language policies and total compensation statements change perceptions, and why wellness programs matter even when ROI isn’t easily quantifiable. Amy also unpacks the rise of personalized benefits (including lifestyle spending accounts), the shift to skills-based pay over degrees, and the internal compensation pressures that come with upskilling and AI. She closes with the simple 30-day habit - Mel Robbins’ Five-Second Rule - that boosts follow-through at work and at home, plus the AI tools she uses daily to work smarter.
