Our Services
-
Compensation Benchmarking & Structure:
We review your current pay scales and benefits against the market and design competitive salary structures. This ensures you’re not losing talent due to below-market pay.
Outcome: you’ll know exactly where you stand and how to lead in your industry on rewards.
-
Incentives & Performance Rewards:
Incentives & Performance Rewards: We create incentive schemes (annual bonuses, sales commissions, even equity plans) that directly drive your business goals. We tie rewards to performance, so your team is motivated to push towards the vision.
Outcome: a high-performance culture where effort is aligned with reward.
-
Job Grading & Organizational Design:
We establish or refine job grading systems and role definitions. This provides clarity and fairness in progression, which improves morale. Additionally, we advise on broader HR programs – from performance management to employee wellbeing and EVP (Employer Value Proposition) design – to ensure all parts of your people strategy are working in harmony.
Outcome: a transparent, fair environment that attracts and retains talent.
A Practical Starting Point:
C&B Fast Health Check
For leadership teams who want clarity before committing to a full redesign, the C&B Fast Health Check offers a focused, fact-based entry point.
What it is
A 4-week diagnostic that assesses whether your current pay and job structures are supporting, or undermining, talent retention, performance, and people cost control.
What we review
Pay competitiveness for a targeted set of critical roles
Job grade and title consistency
Early risk signals affecting retention and people costs
What leaders receive
A concise diagnostic report
A leadership debrief outlining clear priorities: what to address now, what can wait, and the options available next.
This diagnostic is designed to provide clarity, reduce uncertainty, and support informed decision-making, whether the next step is targeted adjustments or a broader redesign.
