What is a compensation study?
Compensation studies analyze your current pay practices and determine if they are competitive for your industry and geographic location. They can also help determine if your employee’s salaries are in compliance with current employment, state, and federal laws.
Why do you need a compensation study?
As competition for talent continues to tighten in this employee centric market, compensation studies are useful tools to help attract and retain talent. These studies determine market value of each job, benchmark salary ranges, propose equitable salary ranges for managers and ensure internal parity. In order to remain competitive, it is recommended that organizations conduct compensation studies every three years. It’s not only a best practice to complete compensation studies but it also has key benefits such as saving your internal human resources department time, improved accuracy of employee pay, improved employee engagement, and creates a culture of a transparency by communicating a clear compensation strategy.
