Compensation

Compensation Consulting

Compensation is a major factor in attracting and retaining top talent. It is also one of the largest expenses for any organization. 

The effective development and administration of a corporate compensation structure requires a delicate balance between the pay levels for employees and the pay levels those employees could command in the industry’s recruiting markets. At CCI Consulting, our compensation services use data-backed salary surveys and market research to develop a strategic approach to compensation, enabling organizations to not only attract the best talent but also to motivate and retain them. 

 

Balancing the Scales: Internal and External Equity

Effective compensation administration and management is about striking the perfect balance between internal equity – ensuring employees are compensated fairly within your organization, and external equity – aligning your pay structures with the competitive market. This equilibrium is where CCI’s compensation services come into play.
 

Data-Backed Information: Salary Surveys and Compensation Studies

You may have questions about how to properly align your internal pay structure with the market. Some common questions we see include: 
 
  • “What do your employees make compared to the market?”
  • “Are all your managers compensated within a reasonable salary range for their expertise and experience?”
  • “How does your company benefits and perks package measure up relative to your competition for the same talent?”
  • “Are you required to offer work injury compensation?”
  • “What are the main corporate compensation offer drivers for your industry?”
 
CCI Consulting provides the answers you need with our comprehensive compensation and benefits studies.

Case Studies

Compensation Support

Challenge

A food manufacturer with 880 company-owned sales routes had been experiencing significant growth organically and through acquisition. Challenges included high turnover, new geographic territories, and the need to attract quality employees for sales routes. The company also expressed interest in developing a compensation philosophy and a more structured approach to overall compensation including pay bands and guidelines for salary actions company-wide.

CCI Approach

Based on input from the client, CCI created survey parameters and survey specifics, closely matching the geography. For best results, CCI utilized two salary survey databases, Economic Research Institute (ERI) and CompAnalyst for market data. CCI delivered survey results showing company location, survey locations, median and mean salary (market value) of each location, and survey incentive percent of base.

Results

Using the survey data analytics tool, the client was able to gain insight into the different perspectives and experiences based on tenure, location, function, etc. These insights were used by leaders at all levels of the organization to formulate actions designed to leverage best practices and address the areas of most significant concern. As a result of the survey and the action planning that followed, the client was able to make significant strides in more fully and effectively integrating the previously disparate businesses.
