  • Updated Market Analysis – Conducted a comprehensive review of 30 unique position/location combinations to ensure IWPR’s compensation remains competitive and equitable.
  • Revised Pay-to-Experience Matrix – Developed an updated pay-to-experience matrix incorporating the latest benchmark data and reflecting any changes to roles or job architecture.
  • Compensation Realignment and Rollout – Assisted with the realignment of individual salaries to the new compensation matrix and ensured a smooth rollout to all staff.
