Types of Salary Benchmarking Exercises
The generic salary benchmarking refers to the methodology where the entire industry or all types of employers in a particular industry or segment are considered while performing the salary benchmarking. This type of compensation benchmarking does not provide a detailed finetuning to the organisation’s exact requirements as there may be various scales of operations, locations, types of products and services, etc, within the same industry and those nitty-gritties don’t appear in the stats in generic survey.
A tailor-made survey provides the beneficiary organization with the exact fitment amongst the competitor employers. This type of survey gives liberty to the extent that even the competitor employers can be handpicked by the organization against which they wish to have benchmarking done. In this type of survey, the companies not only get the salary benchmarks but also they get to know the strategies used by competitors, trends in competitors, this year’s percentage of hike, market standard job titles and many more. So tailor-made survey or a specific survey is now a days quite popular amongst various organizations. Even IT Salary benchmarking has become a market buzzword and companies are getting quite good results in terms of insights of the competition about market standard salaries.

There are several factors that create a work environment and the most important can be the human behavioral, interpersonal and social factors. The workplace has to be free of harassment, free of abuse to be said the least. The ideas and creativity should be rewarded. Transparency and communication need to be the key. Team members need to be helping each other rather than competing in the wrong spirit. The environment of collaboration where every unique individual and their strengths are respected and synthesized well to deliver a combined multiplied output.
Creating a best employer brand need the employer to work on Employee Engagement parameters. Engaged employees and not just satisfied once make a difference. It's quite easy to start, just take an employee engagement survey and find out if your employees are engaged. If they are not, study the parameters where there's a gap and try fixing that. Apart from that benchmarking with the peer organisations of the same segment or industry helps to benchmark the best HR practices, better reward management strategies and best engagement practices.
Knowing what's going wrong with your organization first needs you to get a HR Audit or an Employee Survey done. HR audit can help the company understand what in the processes or records or practices is missing, whereas the employee surveys can help the organisation identify what from the employee perspective is not working out and should be changed. This gives a 360 degrees view to the HR of the current challenges and how those could be dealt with.

HR Heads, Managers and representatives of the companies are often quite occupied in the operational matters like solving day to day matters, firefighting, payroll, recruitment and more. This often does not let them focus on grasping new knowledge that is latest in their field. Also it becomes very difficult to do and initiate everything by self. In such scenarios the HR should consider getting the help of the OD Consultants with proven track record, so that while they get a help in getting new initiatives implemented, at the same time they can even get the knowledge and expertise on new initiatives while the consulting experts implement those in their organization. The expert consultants generally have an experience of handling clients from hundreds of companies and hence know many best practices and solutions to day to day problems. Their knowledge can help the HR representatives to grow professionally while they implement something along with HR.
