Compensation Consulting

How do your compensation plans measure up?

Although your employee turnover may have been low up until now, with the current economic situation, your top performers may be ready to retire or jump ship for better compensation packages offered elsewhere. Your company needs compensation plans that pay competitively and achieve company goals, while complying with all regulatory and disclosure rules – but how can you get your plans to do all this?

The compensation consultants at McDermott Associates can help. We combine deep business experience with human resources knowledge to help you assess the strengths and weaknesses of your current compensation strategy. Then we work with you to design pay and incentive programs for executives and employees that balance retaining your “A” talent and reinforcing positive employee behaviors with complying with all applicable regulations.
