Compensation Strategy Deep Dive

Uncover the strengths and gaps in your base salary strategy

Have something already in place but not sure if you want to kick off a full project with me? An alternative way to work with me is through my Compensation Strategy Deep Dive, which offers a flexible way to assess where you stand and help you get moving in the right direction—without committing to a full project.

This review focuses exclusively on the base salary elements of your compensation strategy. It won’t cover equity analysis, benefits analysis, or comparable pay analysis, though I will review these elements as part of the overall context. Below are the details on how this works and a guideline on costs.

Step 1️⃣ - Discovery

A diagnostic of your organisation’s base salary strategy, providing observations and actionable recommendations for your onward journey:

Existing materials: Review of your current compensation strategies/policies related to base salary, such as salary bands, levels, location-based pay strategies, and data sources used.
Interviews: Optional interviews with key stakeholders (e.g. Founder, Heads of Department, People Team, Finance Team).
Employee survey: Optional short employee survey (3-5 questions).
Playback: Present findings and discuss recommendations for the way forward.

How long?

The duration depends on what you already have in place. Based on previous engagements, the discovery work typically takes 1-2 days.

Step 2️⃣ - Deliver

Put the recommendations into action. I can take an:

Advisory approach– guiding the team as they implement changes. This hands-off approach is more cost-effective.
Hands-on approach– actively helping to implement the roadmap, which requires more of my time and therefore costs more

How long?

Duration varies from a few hours per month to several days, based on the Discovery findings and your team's capacity and capability.
