SITUATION:
A small New York-based nonprofit had conducted a market analysis to gather compensation data by role but continued to struggle with managing pay across diverse positions. The organization was experiencing significant pay compression and title inflation, making it difficult to ensure equity and consistency in compensation practices.
SOLUTION:
To bring clarity and structure, Exude Human Capital conducted a full-scale job analysis to level roles consistently across departments. Instead of relying on market rates by individual roles, the team built a job architecture tied to market-based salary bands. Exude also developed a comprehensive compensation philosophy and accompanying policies to guide fair and transparent pay decisions.
RESULTS:
We were able to help the organization establish a clear, equitable compensation framework with consistent criteria for making pay decisions. This increased transparency around pay, reduced title inflation, and created a structured foundation for career growth. Leaders and employees now share a common understanding of role-based criteria, separate from individual performance or tenure.
