Organizational Architecture Testimonials

"We were aware of OA’s work in the not-for-profit and public-sector environments, so when it was time to conduct an analysis of our base compensation, we contacted them for assistance. Public sector compensation can be challenging. On one hand it can be easier to locate data on positions because of the disclosure requirements for public entities. On the other hand, being able to pay competitively for top talent in a competitive labor market, coupled with the budget constraints in the public sector, can make it challenging. Also, pay structures in the public sector do not always keep pace with the private sector, which can be problematic when trying to update compensation programs. OA’s approach was to locate meaningful benchmarking date from both public and other sources and develop tools to show our positions relative to the market. Additionally, they provided insight into current compensation trends and strategies for implementing better approaches to attract, retain, and motivate our staff. The OA team was helpful in assisting with consensus-building with our leadership team so that we could implement the program we needed to reach our goals."

"It can be challenging to meet the needs of both union and non-union employees. Having Organizational Architecture come in as a third-party to review our current compensation practices not only ensures that all employees are being paid fairly and equitably, but it also brings a fresh set of eyes to see what improvements can be made in how we reward our employees. Their analysis also reaffirmed that we do compensate our employees fairly compared to the market and help us to be an employer of choice for top talent."
