Arden Hills <br />PROJECT PHASE <br />Project Orientation <br />The first step of the project is to review and analyze data provided by the client. This includes <br />any existing job description, job evaluation system, policies, pay philosophies and pay <br />strategies, current compensation model, pay equity and any other data the client has <br />available. We will discuss strengths and weaknesses of the current compensation and <br />classification systems and identify possible barriers to implementing and maintain change. <br />■ Project Administration: Meeting with Project Team to develop and confirm detailed <br />project schedule and review system history/materials. <br />■ Define Communication Strategy: Partner with the client to design a communication <br />strategy that combines best practices in the industry with practical applications and <br />tools. Create necessary stakeholder teams to assist with communication (Project <br />Team, Working Committee, etc.) <br />■ Employee Orientation Sessions (optional): Conducted virtually, with one session <br />recorded so any employee who is unable to attend can see the information <br />presented. <br />After this review, we will meet with the client to discuss project expectations, define strategic <br />goals and objectives, identify current challenges and discuss timeline. <br />Position Review <br />Using the client's existing job descriptions and Job Evaluation system, our team will conduct <br />a review and analysis of the overall compensation structure with a focus on: <br />■ Opportunities for improvement or areas of risk <br />■ Alignment of compensation and performance with management philosophies <br />■ Identification of current or potential pay compression, pay equity, or bargaining issues <br />■ Identification of any ADA, FLSA and other State and Federal Requirement concerns <br />■ Identification of job classification and industry mismatch. <br />We have worked with a variety of job evaluation systems and is experienced in many <br />compensation models. This phase of the project will include meeting with leadership to <br />understand and discuss any noted recommendations and identified challenges moving to the <br />next phase of the project. <br />Labor and Market Analysis <br />We will work with Project Team to confirm the labor market and identify comparable organizations and <br />gather data from various sources. <br />We will utilize the data that we have collected from around the state, supplemented by <br />additional survey sources to provide updated and accurate wage information. <br />If we do not have data from a particular entity selected by the City/County, we will <br />reach out to that organization and ask them to provide us with a current roster. <br />We will collect detailed wage information on all jobs that you have in common with <br />these communities — not just a selected list. <br />We will organize the results of this analysis using a series of graphs and charts that <br />are designed to clearly show how your current pay ranges and wages compare to <br />those of benchmark entities.
