A robust pay and benefits strategy is critical to the running of a successful business.

• Recruiting and retaining the right people in the right jobs with salaries determined by the relevant market
• Managing employee costs alongside paying fairly, consistently and equally
• Recognising and rewarding contribution and achievement
• Staff development and engagement

Understanding the structure of roles within an organisation and how these compare to the external market, whether by department, individually or across the entire business, is critical to recruiting and retaining talent and also to managing employee costs.  Through our consultancy service, we can support the development and implementation of a new grade structure, ensuring that pay is managed fairly, that it’s transparent and consistent. 

We work with our clients to understand the company structure both vertically and horizontally, using job evaluation as a tool to assess roles.  The structured approach that we choose to adopt is an analytical, factor-based methodology which incorporates the requirements, demands, level of accountability and responsibility of job roles at all levels within any type of organisation.  This creates a strong baseline for the design of bespoke grade structures that link directly to the external market and ensures the development of a robust pay and benefits strategy.
