The competition to attract and retain great employees keeps growing, and it’s hard to find solid guidance on how to win the game. It feels like you’re forced to make your “best guess” when answering mission-critical questions like:

  • How do we stack up with the rest of the market?
  • If we pay our new employees more, how will that impact our existing team?
  • Are we offering the benefits employees really care about?
  • Are there disparities in the ways we pay different groups of people?
