Salary benchmarking FAQs

Variations in pay could be the difference between holding on to hard-won and valuable employees, or losing them to competitors. Benchmarking salaries gives you an accurate and impartial idea of salary information that allows you to make data-driven, real-time decisions about remuneration.

This both keeps your organization commercially competitive and improves employee retention.

Spending time on salary benchmarking and ensuring you formulate a well-researched and comprehensive salary and benefit strategy can pay dividends, meaning you should only need to do it once or twice a year.

However, this frequency may need increase in line with any market or economic shifts that impact the employment market.

Obtaining up-to-date and accurate salary data from other organizations can be exceedingly time-consuming, and most organizations are unlikely to have the resources to dedicate to it. Engaging a third party, such as Hays, to carry out the work for you will provide your organization not only with real-time, targeted data, but an independent, impartial approach with clear, actionable recommendations for you to implement straightaway.
