Compensation & Classification Systems

We believe employees are every organization's most valuable asset and a well-designed compensation and classification system not only supports attracting top talent, it also supports retaining your workforce and fosters positive employee engagement. Our consulting team is comprised of individuals with previous local government city, county, and public library human resources and management level work experience, and develop systems that are tailored specifically align with the compensation philosophy and strategy, and financial position of each individual client.

Total rewards: The mix of compensation and benefit programs can help attract and retain the right talent – by taking a total rewards approach. A Total Rewards model encompasses a combination of salary, benefits, rewards, wellbeing and engagement.

McGrath takes an integrated approach to compensation because there are multiple factors that affect an organization's ability to recruit and retain qualified human capital. Each project is designed to meet each client's individual needs.
