Practical support for wider pay and reward decisions
Pay and reward reviews help organisations take a more structured view of how their systems work, whether current arrangements remain fit for purpose and what changes may be needed.
We can help you decide what you want your reward strategy to achieve and what needs to be done to build it, speaking with key stakeholders in the process.
Having summarised our findings, we help clients think through the practical implications of change, including affordability, governance, communication and the order in which actions might be taken.
Once a reward strategy has been set, it should be reviewed as your organisation evolves to ensure that it remains relevant.

Pay and reward reviews
-
A reward strategy is a plan that shows how you will reward your employees for their work and achievements. It helps you communicate the purpose and value of your rewards to your employees.
A successful reward strategy will contribute to the performance of an organisation. It should be closely aligned to your HR strategy and should match your business goals, values, and culture.
-
A clearly communicated strategy that explains how pay levels are set, how job complexity links to pay, and how performance will be rewarded.
It should also demonstrate how your employee benefits and your learning and development provision support the organisation.

Understand the context
We start by understanding your organisation, current arrangements, project drivers and the decisions the review needs to support.
Review roles, pay and structure
We review relevant role information, pay data, grade structure, salary ranges and any known issues affecting consistency, recruitment or retention.
Analyse the evidence
We consider market pay data, internal role relationships, pay positioning, progression arrangements and affordability implications.
Develop options
We develop practical options for discussion, taking account of organisational priorities, risk, cost and implementation considerations.
Provide recommendations
We provide clear findings and recommendations, with supporting analysis and rationale.
Support next steps
Where needed, we help leadership or HR teams interpret the findings, consider implementation and communicate decisions carefully.

EBRS reviewed executive remuneration and wider reward arrangements, consulted senior stakeholders and employees, and developed recommendations covering pay, benefits, risk and implementation:
“As well as examining our reward practices, Karl and Alison spent time getting to know the business, meeting with senior managers and running focus groups with our staff.
They collated all of the information they gathered and provided a balanced report that summarised what works well, highlighting risk areas and recommending how we could further strengthen what we do.
They presented the findings to our Remuneration Committee and we have implemented their advice.
We enjoyed working with Karl and Alison . Their approach was very collaborative and really listened to what we were hoping to achieve with this project.
We were kept up to date with progress throughout and everything was delivered within the agreed timescales.
We would have no hesitation in recommending the services of EBRS.”
