OUR EXPERTISE

• Compensation Philosophy Development – A clear pay philosophy links what matters most to achieve organization goals with what matters most to people on the team in terms of purpose, autonomy, mastery and financial rewards.
• Incentive Design – We design incentives based on your priorities and culture to reinforce desired behaviors. This often requires balancing competing goals and aligning short and long-term incentives with your strategy and financial goals.
• Performance Measurement – A critical step in compensation design is to select the right performance metrics. We learn your team’s ideas and thoroughly explore the problem space before identifying operational, market and financial drivers linked to your strategic priorities.
• Competitive Pay Benchmarking – Getting the level of pay right and offering appropriate transparency has never been more important to attract and retain exceptional talent. The competitive market data we provide gives leaders and their teams the confidence that pay is fair.
• Pay/Performance Calibration – Besides understanding competitive pay, you need to know what performance warrants this level of pay. We can help evaluate the competitiveness of your goals and ensure they are aligned expectations.
• Change Management and Implementation – We support the successful implementation of change by creating a plan, developing clear communication pieces to help people understand the rationale and what it means exactly for them.
• Firm Ownership Provisions – In professional services firms, ownership is often a key element of total rewards for top contributors. We can help determine the criteria for becoming an owner and a fair basis for setting performance expectations for owners.
