The makeup of wage benchmarking
blurb?
Salaries can vary significantly by location, so it’s important to evaluate compensation trends based on local cost of living, industry standards, and what nearby competitors are offering.
This ensures your pay strategy meets the specific priorities of different roles, generations, and career stages—like offering growth opportunities for younger employees and stability for more experienced talent.
Look at ways to strengthen your overall compensation package. Think flexible scheduling, mental health support, career development stipends, childcare support. These can make a significant difference, especially when salary alone isn't enough to stand out.
