Executive Compensation Consulting

Rather than relying solely on generic salary surveys, we can undertake targeted market analysis against a carefully defined peer group, taking into consideration organisational scale, ownership structure, sector, geography, role scope and individual experience.

Our Executive Compensation Consulting can include:

• Executive salary benchmarking – assessing base salary against relevant market comparators and peer organisations.
• Total compensation benchmarking – reviewing base salary, bonus, LTIP and other elements of the overall reward package.
• Peer group analysis – developing bespoke comparator groups based on business size, sector, ownership, geography and organisational complexity.
• Market testing of proposed packages – providing an external view when establishing or revising an Executive package.
• Internal promotion benchmarking – assessing whether an internal candidate’s proposed package is appropriately positioned against the external market.
• New role benchmarking – supporting organisations to establish appropriate remuneration for newly created or materially evolved Executive positions.
• Retention and reward reviews – identifying where remuneration may be out of line with the market and could create attraction or retention challenges.
• Succession and talent planning – providing compensation insight alongside external talent mapping to understand what it would take to attract comparable talent from the market.
• Board and investor support – providing independent market intelligence to inform discussions around Executive appointments and reward.
• Remuneration strategy – using market data alongside organisational context to help develop reward structures that support attraction, retention and performance.

Our approach is bespoke, combining real-time market data with our understanding of the executive talent landscape, enabling clients to understand not simply what the market pays, but what they may need to offer to attract and retain the calibre of leadership talent they require.
