Pave Brings WTW's Trusted Compensation Data Into AI-Powered Pay Decisions

AI is changing how compensation teams work, but the quality of its output depends on the quality of the data behind it. Mutual customers can bring their trusted WTW compensation data into Pave, where it can be used within AI-powered compensation workflows to move from market insights to pay decisions faster and with greater confidence.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pave, the Agentic Compensation Management platform, today announced that it has struck an agreement with WTW, a global advisory, broking, and solutions company, to add its world-leading Rewards Data Intelligence compensation survey data to Pave's technology platform.

The agreement brings together Pave's AI-powered compensation technology with WTW's extensive Rewards Data Intelligence, enabling mutual clients to use trusted market data more directly within the workflows where compensation decisions are made.

Through this agreement, Pave customers with a WTW data license can use that data inside both Pave Agent and Pave's Market Pricing tool to price jobs and build competitive pay ranges, analyzing it alongside their own compensation data and any other sources they choose. Pave Agent can also use the licensed WTW data as a reference input, so teams can ask a question in plain language and get an AI-powered answer drawn from WTW surveys, their other sources, and real-time intelligence from 9,000-plus companies in Pave's dataset.

WTW's surveys cover employees at every level, including executives, across local, regional, and global markets, with industry-specific data for sectors such as financial services, healthcare, biopharma and life sciences, and tech, media and gaming, as well as cross-industry reports including general industry, executive compensation, and AI and digital talent. WTW's compensation surveys provide data for more than 120 markets, covering 12,000 unique organizations and 43 million employees. Combined with Pave's real-time intelligence, licensed WTW data helps mutual clients use AI-powered analysis to inform pay decisions within their authorized workflows.

With WTW data available through Pave, mutual clients can:

• Bring licensed WTW compensation data directly into their market-pricing workflow, reducing the need to move between systems.
• Use Pave Agent to explore compensation questions in plain language, drawing on WTW data alongside other authorized data sources.
• Compare multiple market perspectives in one workflow to support more informed job-pricing and pay decisions.
• Combine external market benchmarks with their own employee and compensation data to understand market positioning.
• Accelerate market-pricing analysis while maintaining access controls around licensed compensation data.

"The compensation teams we work with are under pressure to use AI, and the first question they ask is whether they can trust what it tells them," said Matt Schulman, CEO of Pave. "The answer starts with the data. WTW is one of the most established names in compensation benchmarking, and with its data inside Pave Agent, the answers teams get are ones they can defend in the room. Every partner we add makes Pave a more complete home for the data behind pay decisions, and that is exactly what we are building."

"AI has enormous potential in compensation, but its value depends on the quality of the data and expertise behind it," said Erica Johnson, North America Leader of Rewards Data Intelligence, WTW. "By bringing WTW's trusted compensation data into Pave's AI-enabled workflows, we can help mutual clients move more efficiently from market insight to informed pay decisions, activating the data, while also properly safeguarding it."
