"Compensation" offers no benefits for HR

Why is it that ...?

We often hear senior VPs, directors and managers in HR talking about their goal of making their organizations "great places to work" (or other similar phrases).  Why is it, then, that the HR profession persists in talking about "compensating" people for working there?  You compensate people for breaking a leg, not for turning up for work in the type of organization that the HR community claims to aspire to.
