This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

How many hours did your team spend on the last salary review? If the answer is measured in weeks, you’re paying people to do work that Claude can complete in a single day.

While you’re manually consolidating benchmarks from Mercer, WTW, and Levels fyi, grading 50 roles using Hay methodology over several weeks, and building payroll budgets across endless Excel files, your role in the eyes of the CFO remains that of a calculator. Every quarter spent on manual routines consumes hundreds of hours that never translate into strategy, business impact, or career growth.

After this course, you work differently. Job evaluation for 50 roles in one day instead of three weeks. Multi-source market benchmarking in 30 minutes instead of five days. Salary review with pay equity analysis in a single day. Three payroll budget scenarios in one evening. 500 personalized Total Rewards Statements in one hour. That’s a 95% reduction in routine C&B workload across the annual cycle and a transition from analyst to strategic C-level partner.

The course is led by Mike Pritula, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with more than 1.6 million course enrollments and 150,000+ HR professionals trained worldwide. He holds PHRi and SHRM-CP certifications, serves as an HRCI representative across 10+ countries, built the HR system of unicorn startup Preply, and held HR leadership roles at Wargaming, iDeals, and Alfa-Bank.

The course is built around the TRACE (Total Rewards AI Cycle Engine) framework. You begin by creating a Job Architecture and grading roles with Claude using Hay and Mercer IPE methodologies. Next, you collect market data and build salary structures using Levels fyi, Pave, and traditional compensation surveys. You then conduct salary reviews with merit matrices and pay equity analysis, model payroll budgets across three scenarios, and prepare executive presentations for the CFO. Finally, you launch flexible benefits programs using AI-powered segmentation and generate Total Rewards Statements at scale with effective compensation communication. Each module builds on the previous one, resulting not in a collection of prompts but in a complete AI-powered Total Rewards operating system and six fully configured Claude Projects.

AI is already transforming Compensation & Benefits. Companies are reducing months of manual work to days, while professionals who master Claude are moving into Head of C&B and Total Rewards Manager roles. Every month of delay means another manual report your competitors have already automated and another missed opportunity to present strategy instead of spreadsheets to your CFO.
