Our process: structured, strategic, and backed by data
Every engagement is unique, but here's what our process typically looks like from start to finish.
Initial assessment
- Analysis of current pay practices and how they serve your organizational goals. This includes reviewing job descriptions, internal leveling, and program documentation.
- Work with your team to confirm the relevant labor markets for your organization to compete in, based on factors such as location, industry, and organization size.
Match jobs to reliable market data
- We match jobs to market benchmarks using Salary.com's proprietary solution, CompAnalyst®. If you already have benchmarked jobs, we can review and validate them from a neutral perspective.
- Gather market base, bonus, and total cash compensation data for each benchmarked role.
Competitive pay assessment
- Compare your compensation data to market benchmarks, identifying roles or incumbents that are over- or underpaid.
- Develop recommendations for pay adjustments or structural changes, such as grade reassignments, to ensure alignment with market conditions and organizational pay strategies.
Stakeholder review and feedback
- Present preliminary findings to core stakeholders for alignment and input. We walk through the analysis and proposed recommendations in detail, ensuring all parties understand the rationale and implications.
- Facilitate collaborative discussions to refine insights based on your compensation philosophy, organizational structure, and talent strategy. This step helps secure buy-in and ensures that any changes are feasible and supported internally.
Leadership reporting and support
- Tailor deliverables for senior leadership, including executive summaries, detailed data visuals, and recommendation overviews to support strategic decision-making.
- Offer optional support for downstream communication and implementation—such as rollout planning or manager training—ensuring a smooth transition from analysis to action.
