The greatest benefit of working with Kathy for me was her knowledge. She has a tremendous knowledge of the compensation field, and continues to research and bring in new resources.

All businesses in Tucson are struggling and competing for the same workforce. Kathy is helping us develop a market-driven compensation plan for Tucson. Once you know where the market is, you can make a better business decision about what level of talent you want to try to compete for.

Kathy helped us look at the whole picture of compensation and performance. After conducting a market analysis and developing  a clear salary structure, Kathy reviewed our business goals and interviewed staff and management to ensure our goals and measures were aligned.

Employee Compensation Strategy & Design

As you develop strategic plans for your business that must be translated into operating budgets, we work with you to develop creative ways to compensate your employees. You’ll learn about the latest trends in monetary and non-monetary reward methods. Based on our experience and professional training, we offer innovative and cost-effective solutions to help retain and motivate your greatest asset — your trained and skilled staff.

 

Market Pricing & Competitive Analysis

Using the most current data sources for comparison, we can create a market-driven plan for a department, a specific type of employee or a whole company. If good market data are not available, we design and administer wage and salary surveys. We analyze your pay rates compared to other employers in the market. Then we tie compensation to your business goals and the market. Our services help you achieve competitive advantages in recruiting and retaining the type of employees you want.

 

Performance Management Programs

We help you develop systems that meet your firm’s and your employees’ needs in evaluating, rewarding and improving performance. The best performance management programs utilize cross-functional design teams, employee focus groups, management and executive interviews. Performance management services may also include job analysis, job descriptions, competency-based programs and recognition program design. With any combination of services we provide, we tie our recommendations to your company goals, organizational values, and compensation programs. Our goal is to make the performance management process more meaningful, less stressful and more productive for all concerned.
