Elevate your employee value proposition to consistently attract, motivate, engage, and retain valuable talent. It’s imperative to offer a competitive rewards package that strategically matches the needs of employees and the organization. We assess total rewards, optimize existing strengths, identify opportunities to utilize different levers and enhance the overall program.

Compliance is critical to support a positive workplace culture and to reduce financial and legal risk, by adhering to laws and regulations that shape employee compensation programs. We review company pay practices, conduct audits and advise on legal compliance matters related to Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), including Exempt vs. Non-Exempt classification of a position and The Pay Transparency Act.

We complete third party salary surveys to submit on the company’s behalf. In addition, we conduct a competitive pay analysis to assess how competitive company compensation practices are relative to its defined market/competitor pool and how the approach supports an organization’s hiring and retention goals, and compensation strategy. We leverage market data to provide pay solutions or design competitive market-related pay structures that support your organization’s compensation strategy and boost success in attracting, retaining and motivating employees.

Gain a vital edge in the competition for talent by developing an effective base pay salary structure – one that aligns with your organization’s compensation strategy and recognizes and rewards skilled employees. We evaluate, design, offer implementation guidance and provide solutions for base pay programs, including: job architecture, salary ranges, geographic differential pay strategies designed for dispersed workforces and annual merit and promotional increases.

These are the building blocks to create fair and competitive pay structures that advance internal equity and ensure legal compliance. We create job descriptions or assess existing ones for legal compliance, conduct job evaluations and develop career paths.

Executive compensation entails additional complexities around tax considerations, regulations, risk assessments and a high level of engagement with C-Suite Executives and Board of Directors. We provide solutions to leverage your executive compensation plans to meet your organization’s strategic goals, motivate executives and reward exceptional leadership performance. In addition, we can conduct analyses and prepare materials for Compensation Committee review and approval of the Annual Proxy Statement.

Variable pay programs such as corporate bonus programs or sales commission plans incentivize employees to achieve specific goals and help boost organizational profitability. We evaluate existing variable plans to provide enhancement solutions or design programs and provide implementation guidance.

Elevate your compensation strategy with company equity as a powerful long-term incentive.
