Case Study : Revamping Compensation & Benefits to Reduce Attrition and Boost Engagement in organizations across the Financial Services / Real Estate / Semi-Government Industry

Challenge

  • Outdated Salary and Benefits Structure: The existing salary scale and benefits were no longer competitive, lagging behind industry standards and failing to attract or retain top talent.
  • High Employee Attrition: Increased turnover was affecting productivity, with talented employees leaving for companies offering better compensation and benefits.
  • Low Employee Motivation: Stagnant pay and limited benefits contributed to decreased engagement and morale, impacting overall productivity and performance.

Solution

  • Market Survey Participation: The company engaged in a comprehensive market survey to gather current compensation data and identify industry benchmarks.
  • Benchmarking and Salary Restructuring: A thorough benchmarking analysis was conducted across all roles to align salaries with market standards. A new grade and salary scale system was developed with Min/Mid/Max ranges to offer clear progression paths. 
  • Revamped Benefits and Policy Alignment: In addition to the salary adjustments, the benefits structure was redesigned to match market trends, and HR policies were updated to reflect industry best practices, supporting a more competitive and attractive work environment.

Impact

  • Reduced Employee Turnover: The new compensation model resulted in a significant reduction in attrition, particularly retaining key talent in critical roles. 
  • Enhanced Employee Engagement: Engagement scores improved significantly, with majority of employees expressing satisfaction with the revised compensation structure, reporting greater motivation and a renewed sense of loyalty. 
  • Improved Recruitment Success: The competitive salary and benefits structure helped attract high-caliber candidates, reducing recruitment costs and filling vacancies with skilled professionals quickly.

Through these strategic changes, the company successfully created a more attractive and motivating work environment, driving retention, engagement, and long-term organizational growth.
