- Our Tried & True Compensation and Pay Structure Process
Not Sure Where to Start? We Make Compensation Simple & Collaborative.
Discovery & Goal-Setting
We begin by meeting with your leadership and HR team to fully understand your current compensation practices, business structure, and pain points. We clarify your short- and long-term goals—whether it’s addressing pay equity concerns, improving employee retention, ensuring provincial or federal compliance, or even building a scalable compensation framework. This stage sets the foundation for a tailored, strategic review.
Data Collection, Market Research & Analysis
Next, we gather your internal compensation benchmark and review role descriptions, organizational structure, and current salary bands. We then compare your roles against up-to-date market data using trusted compensation databases. From there, we conduct an internal pay equity analysis and identify any pay disparities, gaps, or misalignments – providing you with clear, data-backed insights to make the best decisions possible.
Compensation Strategy Setting & Process Building
Once we’ve identified the key issues and opportunities, we collaborate with you to build or refine your compensation strategy. This includes creating clear pay structures, developing job levels or bands, setting compensation philosophies, and ensuring alignment with your organizational values and budget. We also help you build sustainable internal processes for ongoing compensation management to stay compliant with Canadian pay transparency laws.
Ongoing Compensation Benchmarking Support
We don’t just hand off a report and walk away. Our team remains available to provide continued guidance—whether you need support implementing recommendations, navigating legislation, training HR teams, or scheduling regular compensation audits. We’re here as your trusted partner in building and maintaining a fair and effective compensation strategy.

Why is Compensation Benchmarking Important?
Stronger Talent Attraction & Retention
Offering fair, competitive compensation signals that you value your people - helping you attract top talent and reduce costly turnover. A clear, data-informed pay strategy builds trust and keeps your team motivated, engaged, and loyal.
Legal Compliance & Risk Reduction
With evolving Canadian pay transparency and pay equity legislation, staying compliant is more important than ever. Our compensation reviews help you identify and correct potential risks before they become liabilities - protecting your organization from legal exposure and reputational harm.
Improved Team Trust & Retention
A workplace culture of trust and respect is a workplace culture that nurtures its teams, and retains its employees. Build a culture of pay transparency and fairness that strengthens employee engagement while staying within Canadian pay transparency guidelines.
Greater Strategic Planning
By crafting repeatable compensation strategies and pay equity philosophies, you can improve the efficiency of future planning while also ensuring your team fits within the bounds of your payroll budget - regardless of scale.
