Typically an assignment will involve a number of steps that may include:
- Evaluating the existing pay and grading system, including holding consultation sessions with stakeholders
- Developing a strategic framework for the new pay and grading system and establishing criteria for the design of the new system
- Developing a new reward system meeting the criteria
- Obtaining agreement on a preferred proposal
- Designing, developing and testing the model(s) including collecting and validating personnel and payroll data
- Advising on the effects of different options and ways of mitigating unwanted effects
- Developing an implementation strategy
- Developing and agreeing a staff communication strategy
We work collaboratively with the client making them aware of developments ensuring the new system meets their requirements.
The main benefits of this approach are:
- Ensuring the reward system meets management requirements and supports delivery of the corporate plan
- Enabling management to compare the cost of multiple options
- Developing an implementation strategy meeting the pay remit
- Greater understanding of the effects of pay changes
