Benchmarking a boardcan actually defend.

Market benchmarking a remuneration committee can defend. Real Kenyan comparator data, not global proxies.

The survey

Kenyan comparator data,not global proxies.

A remuneration committee has to explain the number. The survey is built so that explanation can be made: comparator set, method, percentiles and the anomalies by name.

Job evaluation establishes relative worth first. A survey attaches money to that order. Where both are needed, they are scoped as one assignment or as two with a clear join.

Salary survey and compensation analysis at Eagle HR Consultants

Scope

What a survey covers

The instrument is recommended after the brief. Not every pay question is a survey.

  1. 01

    Salary benchmarking

    Market rates for the roles you actually run, against Kenyan comparators agreed with you, not a global proxy dressed as local data.

    • Market rates
    • Sector comparators
    • Grade-level comparisons
  2. 02

    Compensation analysis

    Where the structure sits, where it compresses, and what that costs. Pay equity and budget implications are written down.

    • Trend analysis
    • Pay equity
    • Budget implications
  3. 03

    Pay structure design

    Grade bands, midpoints and ranges a remuneration committee can defend. Performance pay and total rewards sit on the same structure.

    • Grade and band structures
    • Variable pay
    • Total rewards
  4. 04

    Cost modelling

    The financial effect of adopting the recommended structure, modelled before the committee is asked to commit.

    • Scenario planning
    • Adoption cost
    • Risk notes
The comparator set is agreed
Kenyan organisations that actually hire for these roles. Global medians are not treated as local evidence.
Anomalies are named
Compression, inversion and outliers appear by role and grade, so the committee is not left to find them in a chart.
Cost is modelled first
The financial effect of moving to the recommended structure is written down before anyone is asked to adopt it.

Method

How a survey is run

Confidentiality is not a formality. Comparator data is collected and stored under the terms agreed at inception.

  1. 01

    Comparator set

    The organisations that count as a fair comparison are agreed with you. The survey does not start until that set is written down.

  2. 02

    Data collection

    Pay and benefits are collected through confidential questionnaires, supplemented by recognised published sources where the set requires it.

  3. 03

    Analysis

    Percentiles, compression, inversion and outliers are identified by role and grade. Internal equity is tested against equivalent worth.

  4. 04

    Report and handover

    The committee receives a report it can stand behind. Working papers stay with you. Residual advice is limited to the proposal.
