STRATIX recognizes that each organization and its employees/ members/stakeholders is unique — we begin by working to identify and understand the specific needs and expectations of the client.
We consult with representatives of both the employer and employees to develop the process and guidelines for convening an interest-based strategy to design or redesign the compensation and benefits system. Elements include:
What parties will be involved and who will represent them?
What specific aspects of compensation will the parties deal with and what information will be needed to make effective decisions?
How will the costs of research and facilitation be handled?
Who will provide logistical and administrative support for the process?
What will be the schedule for initiating and concluding the interest-based process?
We provide an orientation and appropriate training in problem solving and communications to prepare the representatives to use the interest-based strategy.
We facilitate the implementation of the interest-based strategy for compensation and benefits design/redesign. Typical stages include:
Initial facilitation helps the parties identify the problem, key interests and critical information needs for each issue — the basis for a work plan and initial schedule involving all compensation and benefits issues.
Research and information gathering precedes actual work on the issues involved in compensation design/redesign.
Work sessions are scheduled to make the most effective use of organizational resources — generally two or three consecutive days (or a series of such sessions).
