Compensation Consulting
Compensation Works!
In many organizations, labor cost is the biggest expense, so getting pay right is critical. Paying too little means you will have difficulty hiring and retaining staff, while paying too much can create an inflated cost structure, impacting your competitiveness. Your organization is unique and has unique opportunities and issues. Bolting on a compensation program that has worked at another organization is like taking a muffler from a Ford and putting it on a Mercedes. It is unlikely to work well and will usually require a lot of bailing wire and duct tape. If you are an executive who is concerned about paying people right – Compensation Works can help. Contact Compensation Works today and let us help you get the best value for your salary dollars.
