Salary Benchmarking

Industry Specific, Africa, Global & Emerging Markets

Purpose of Salary Benchmarking

The purpose of Salary Benchmarking, whether local, global, industry specific, within any African/Emerging market), is to compare the pay levels within your organisation against a relevant comparator group, in the market in which you compete for skills. Ultimately, this should help you attract and retain superior talent.

The information obtained is typically used for the following:

  • To obtain relevant, accurate, representative data on levels of pay and benefits for specific jobs in the organisation;
  • To adjust the pay levels of employees in response to changing market conditions;
  • To analyse pay-related problems;
  • To set the pay mix (guaranteed vs. variable);
  • To offer appropriate starting rates;
  • To design and modify salary structures and pay scales;
  • To determine acceptable rates of salary progression; and
  • To provide guidance on pay review decisions and well as salary levels of individual employees.
