Beyond the Paycheck · 2026-07-09 · 23 min
Summary What does it take to rebuild salary planning in eight weeks? In this episode of Beyond the Paycheck, host Kelsey Willcok Jones talks with Nicholas Lassalle, Director of Total Rewards at QinetiQ, about launching an SAP compensation module in two months, why the ROI of people investments shows up in the employee experience rather than the spreadsheet, and why so many employees leave free money on the table by misunderstanding their benefits. Nicholas shares how automating benefits systems, 401(k) administration, and HSA file feeds eliminated the delays and errors that hit employees directly, and makes the case for over-communication, fast response times, and real benefits education. A practical conversation for HR, total rewards, and people leaders who want to invest in employees even when the numbers aren't obvious.
