Arden Hills EXECUTIVE SUMMARY October 11, 2023 Dave Perrault, City Administrator City of Arden Hills RE: Proposal for Job Classification and Compensation Services Dear Mr. Perrault: Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to the City of Arden Hills. Based on our experience with the type of work outlined in the proposal, we are confident our experience and expertise will allow us to address your needs, goals and exceed your expectations. Three major factors distinguish DDA Human Resources from other providers: • All our employees come with years of public sector experience. We specialize in government, and we know first-hand the challenges of managing public sector compensation. This helps us deliver practical, workable solutions. • We believe that classification and compensation can and should be managed as a practical, common-sense process — not as some theoretical or statistical exercise in regression analysis. We will help you design a compensation system that is technically solid and one you understand. We measure our effectiveness as a consulting firm not by studies completed, but by studies that are actually implemented. • We think a compensation should be actively managed as an ongoing program — not neglected and then fixed with a major compensation study like this. With proper on -going maintenance support, major disruptive and expensive compensation studies are unnecessary. We are pioneers in providing ongoing maintenance solutions. Our firm's goal is to be known as the best human resources consultant in Minnesota. There is only one way to get there — by delivering exceptional service. We will do our very best to earn your trust, your respect, and your future business. Our success has been driven by utilizing staff that is experienced and well -trained in government planning, human resources, payroll, compensation systems and market analysis. We understand that each client has a specific project scope. We will customize our approach with our attention to detail, collaboration with your staff, transparent and customized communications. Our overall project approach provides efficient and effective outcomes and sets ourselves apart in our ability to value your organization. Involvement with Personnel Our approach to this project is to engage staff to ensure that we have an understanding of the project, each individual's role in the project, overall expectations and needs and deadlines. Throughout the project, there will be periodic meetings with staff, Project Team, Working Committee and other groups as needed to share information, solicit input and provide updates. We believe communications is important and will customize a plan that suits the organization. Your internal staff and leadership are key to truly understanding your organization and developing solutions that can be implemented. Commitment to Meet Your Needs PAGE 2
