Problem Solving
Most of our client relationships begin with
a request to address a specific issue in the compensation
area. In addressing the issue, our approach is like
that of a good physician. We attempt to understand the
overall health of the patient before prescribing a solution
for a specific problem.
We prefer to start the problem solving process with
an audit of the client's overall compensation philosophy,
policies, systems and practices. Each component is examined
in light of the client's financial and organizational
well-being, and unique strategy and objectives. When
the audit is accomplished and the big picture is known,
a solution can be prescribed to address the specific
problem.
The client is always involved in the problem solving
process. It is the client who decides among the valid
alternative solutions. It is the client who determines
the pace and resources to be applied to the solution.
We, the consultant, provide the time, objectivity and
expertise necessary to focus on the problem. We stay
involved, until the problem has been resolved. We work
on the problem within a determined budget, keeping the
client informed of progress and expenditures against
the budget.

pay and job-related information

is sensitive to the client's competitive position
and ability to pay

The service is time and cost effective. It allows
the client's compensation philosophy to be implemented
within the constraints of a budget and consistently
applied over time.
Budgets for this annual service depend on the size
and complexity of the organization. Custom work plans
and budgets are always developed to reflect the client's
