Is this governance agenda?

we have a compensation designer role with this purpose and accountabilities - https://app.glassfrog.com/roles/11188478

If i in that role bring a compensation policy which also needs inputs from other roles, then do i need to bring it to governance? 

I am sensing that as long as I am not bringing any impact of my action or an expectation from any role i dont need to bring it to governace and just share the decsion on compensation as an action. 

any suggestions or how people have their compensation role make the plans or strategies and deal with governance?

Hi Shammi!

To bring in the Policy itself, the Role holder does not need to use the Governance process: they already have the relevant Domain to work with.

However, as long as the other Roles do not have Accountabilities to provide input on the Policy (or the process that the Policy specifies), the compensation designer cannot expect them to do this work.

Therefore it may be helpful to propose Governance that adds Accountabilities to the other Roles.

[@mention:457575321027129860], thanks for your input. It makes sense to have the autocracy of the domain as long as its not creating an expectation on any other role. I guess its about riding a ferari and waiting for the objection, if it crops up in some other role and not seeking permission in the relevant domain of that role by the role filler. Am i getting you right?
