A compensation consultant looks at all aspects of the compensation packages you are currently implementing for staff at your organization. Their focus moves beyond direct compensation (like salaries) to indirect compensation, including benefits, incentives, and equity. A compensation consultant might evaluate your current compensation system and find areas for improvement where you can remain more competitive in your industry when looking to attract talent. Their process can also help to retain talent by better communicating with staff their worth to your company. This could mean implementing a new system or touchpoints to highlight their total compensation (a combination of direct and indirect compensation).
