How was the new salary structure developed?
Dear Ahmed,
Thank you for the invitation.
Salary or pay structure encourages high performance and career progression, it also manages pay raises.
However, some smaller organizations manage without any form of pay structure, but it is essential for an organization to design pay structure once they reach around 200 as a framework for reward management which should be aligned with the organization strategy.
Each company may have its own approach, but these steps are commonly involved in creating a new salary structure..
Companies analyze industry standards and competitor salaries to ensure their compensation is competitive.
Positions are assessed based on responsibilities, skills required, and market demand to determine their relative worth within the organization.
Gathering feedback from employees can provide insights into satisfaction and expectations regarding compensation.
Adjustments may be made based on geographical differences in living costs.
Ensuring that salaries are fair within the organization to maintain morale and motivation among employees.
Adhering to labor laws and regulations related to compensation is crucial.
After finalizing the structure, it’s communicated to employees, often alongside a rationale for changes.
Regularly revisiting the salary structure to adapt to market changes or organizational needs is essential.
