Clearwater Human Capital

Clearwater Human Capital is a compensation and pay-for-performance consulting firm, headquartered in Chicago. Compensation consulting is the only service that we provide and the sole basis for our reputation. Our consultants have worked nationwide with emerging, medium and large organizations, such as American Airlines, General Electric, Kaiser Permanente, Mitsubishi, Nucor Steel, Panera Bread, Rohm & Haas, Toyota, Tulane University, the United States Mint and Verizon.

Following are three goals that Clearwater consultants have in mind as they approach each engagement.

1) Increase your organization’s return on investment in employee pay.
2) Provide your employees with a more meaningful work experience by identifying pay and growth opportunities and connecting their job to business results.
3) Do some good with our success. Clearwater means clean water. Each year, Clearwater donates 7.5% of its profits to clean water charities, such as Oceana- an organization focused on preserving and restoring the world's oceans; and water.org- an organization whose mission is to bring clean water and sanitation to the world.
