Every HR department needs to ensure that its reward budget is spent efficiently and effectively. If pay levels are set too low, the organisation will be able neither to recruit nor to retain the staff that it needs. If set too high, there will be a measurable and potentially damaging financial impact. But without reliable evidence, there is little basis on which to make recommendations and decisions that can have a significant impact on the organisation’s bottom line.
