What is compensation planning?

Have you ever heard the phrase, “slow down to speed up”? Instead of scrambling at the 11th hour to pull together a lackluster compensation strategy, sometimes the best thing to do is to slow down. In today’s complex labor market, having a competitive compensation strategy is imperative, and taking valuable time to strategize will allow you to get it right the first time and head into the new year with a strong compensation-planning process.

Compensation planning is a yearly process of creating and implementing a structured approach to determine how employees are paid and rewarded for their work within your organization. The goal is to align employee compensation with the organization's goals, the current labor market conditions and their individual performance.

Determining whether your base pay, salary ranges, insured benefits, non-insured benefits, and other direct and indirect compensation offerings are competitive is imperative.
