MenuCompensation Design and Optimization
Created 12 years ago in Business / Getting Started
A program must be simple enough to communicate, sophisticated enough to attract and retain staff, and flexible enough to allow for growth and evolution. First, I diagnose your needs. Next, I design your custom solution. Our solutions often use your current plan in new ways. Designing a program that meets the needs of all constituents requires ongoing analysis and refinement. I do not stop the design process at the time of adoption. I work with my clients to monitor programs’ success and make required adjustments during the life of the plan.
I have found that many companies exhaust their time and budgets during the initial design phase. Consequently, if these programs do not work as planned, companies typically wait as long as possible and then start over from the beginning. I keep costs down and work with you beyond the initial rollout and help shape your plan as your needs evolve.
