Attract and retain top talent with a compensation strategy that supports your goals and aligns with your values.
BPM’s experienced compensation consultants can help design the right compensation program for you. We serve public and private clients, as well as for-profits and nonprofits. Our flexible approach supports your business objectives while promoting high performance. Compensation Consulting Services range from simple benchmarking to designing and implementing salary structures, incentive programs and executive compensation plans.
Compensation consultants help organizations develop and implement effective employee compensation strategies and programs. These compensation strategies do more than reward employees. They help motivate higher achievement, retain top performers, support organizational growth and keep you compliant with regulations.
For maximum effectiveness, your compensation practices should be competitive, equitable and clearly communicated to your employees. BPM’s experienced compensation team partners with you to align your rewards programs with your overarching business goals. Our consultants help optimize your compensation strategies for driving performance and sustainable growth.
Every member of BPM’s seasoned team of compensation consultants has between 15 and 30 years of experience. Our consultants have each worked with a wide range of organizations across multiple industries.
For every project we run, we assign both a data analyst and a compensation partner. Our data analysts provide the data, benchmarking and research you need to stay competitive in your market. The compensation partner aligns your compensation philosophy with your culture, management style and organizational goals, keeping employee communication consistent with your processes.
You may need only one service, such as leadership team benchmarking or executive compensation. Alternatively, you may need comprehensive program development that touches on every aspect of compensation. As a fractional resource, we can meet our clients where they are, providing the services they need, when they need them.
We offer a range of compensation services tailored to each client’s specific needs.
A holistic compensation strategy lays a foundation for growth while motivating employees to do their best work. We work closely with you to understand your needs and then develop a strategy that promotes your goals.
Accurate pricing intelligence enables you to understand your current pay positioning, develop competitive compensation strategies and stay competitive in your market. We provide individual benchmarks or subscription options for entry-level through senior leadership roles, or we will work with your preferred compensation market data.
From entry-level to leadership, your pay structure should be fair, motivating and internally consistent. Our consultants use their experience in job evaluation, grading and salary range determination to design salary and bonus architecture. We work closely with your team to implement job architecture that is right sized for your organization, while being compliant with all applicable regulations.
Determining the appropriate levels of executive compensation is a nuanced process, and we offer boards of directors and senior leadership with the information they need to attract and retain top leadership talent while maintaining accountability to stakeholders. We take a deep dive into relevant data, providing a thorough walkthrough of competitors and peer organizations are paying so you can make the most informed decisions regarding your executive compensation. Your board of directors can use our report to determine appropriate compensation levels for all leadership roles.
Bonuses, commissions, equity compensation and other incentives are valuable ways to reward desired outcomes. We start by uncovering exactly what behavior you want to incentivize. Based on benchmarking and market research, we then help you craft a policy that drives the desired behavior.
With more and more states passing pay transparency laws, it’s important that organizations are aware of regulatory requirements. Our team stays on top of regulatory changes so you can adjust your policies as needed.
Compensation goes beyond salary. We create customized total rewards statements to help your employees understand and appreciate their total rewards package. This includes pay, benefits, equity and variable pay.
The power of your compensation program is in your Compensation Philosophy, which is based on your organizational values. We work with your key stakeholders and facilitate a meeting to gain consensus. Afterward, we draft a cohesive document that is ready for employee communication. A compensation philosophy helps guide current and future decisions on pay practices, such as salary increases, location pay strategy, pay factors and more.
