2026 National Compensation Forecast

“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.” — Albert Einstein

For 40 years, we’ve tracked how talent markets twist, tighten, and transform, but the pace of change in 2026 feels different. Automation is accelerating, hybrid has matured, and compensation strategies now blend numbers with meaning, wellness, and growth.

Yet amid all this external change, one truth stands firm: the organizations that thrive are those that focus on value. The kind built through people, culture, and purpose.

That philosophy shapes D. Hilton’s 23rd Annual Credit Union Industry Compensation Forecast, and how credit unions can connect compensation strategy with strategic compensation budgeting.

The future of compensation isn’t about chasing competitors, it’s about leading with value, investing in people, and shaping workplaces where everyone can thrive.

→ Download the 2026 Forecast and see how value drives success in the year ahead.
