Overview
Intellum has a dynamic team of award-winning learning practitioners, consultants, content experts, engagement professionals, developers, and engineers. To maximize the firm’s competitiveness and continued success, they asked TechCXO for help.
Challenges
- Need for compensation grade structure that aligned with goals
- Structure had to be flexible and resilient in a highly competitive market
- Plan had to incentivize employees and reaffirm values and culture.
Goals
The Intellum team has highly skilled professionals who are in demand. They were looking for a comprehensive approach that was not just about numbers. Rather, they were looking to cement the company’s values and communicate just how highly they regard their people.
Solutions
To achieve these goals, Intellum engaged TechCXO’s compensation expert who:
- Conducted a detailed analysis of job roles, responsibilities, and market benchmarks
- Completed a company-wide job pricing analysis
- Completed an update grade structure throughout the company
- Revised the entire compensation philosophy for the company
- Created and executed a training and communications plan for the roll-out of the new philosophy to build consensus and buy-in.
Outcome
Geri Morgan, the Chief People Officer, at Intellum was so pleased with the work and outcome, she personally penned a wonderful letter (PDF). She noted that “…we established a compensation philosophy that reflects our values, supports our strategic objectives, and enhances our employer brand.”
She added that the work “will have a lasting impact on our organization, setting us up for sustained success in attracting and retaining top talent.”
