The Survey Group

Full-Service Human Resources Consulting
Our seasoned Human Resources Consultants have extensive experience and offer a wide range of human resources services from Total Rewards to Talent Management to both member and non-member organizations of all sizes. For organizations with non-existing or limited HR resources, we are able to manage and carry out all phases of a project's work and act as your HR department. Other organizations may have sufficient internal resources but lack the necessary expertise for a particular business initiative. We assist clients in whatever capacity best meets their needs and can do so on a project, hourly or retainer basis. We work closely with an organization's internal team to understand the business and make certain the work reflects each organization's business objectives and unique culture.

Total Rewards
Compensation and Benefits Planning and Design
Our consultants can help you design a comprehensive and competitive compensation and/or benefits program that aligns with your organization's business goals and provides flexibility to change. Compensation programs can include creating comprehensive job descriptions, base pay/salary structure design, and developing variable (bonuses and incentive pay) and long-term incentive compensation that is externally competitive, internally equitable, sustainable, affordable and legally defensible. In addition, our experts can help you design a benefits strategy and program that is affordable and will attract and retain your employees at all levels.

Executive Compensation
Let our consultants ensure that your executive compensation strategy is positioned competitively and is consistent with your organization's business plan. Our unbiased and objective analysis can help you make informed decisions regarding base pay salaries, short and long-term incentives, benefits and perquisites resulting in your ability to attract and retain your key leadership.

Compensation and Benefits Benchmarking
We provide expert technical and analytical services to help ensure that your compensation programs and practices are competitive. We can also analyze your organization's benefit programs including medical, dental, paid time off, retirement and insurance plans against a group of your competitors and provide a clear picture of how your benefits compare to organizations of similar size, industry and geographic location. Once the benchmarking is complete, we will make recommendations for program modifications.

Custom Compensation and Benefits Surveys
We design and conduct custom pay and benefit surveys for clients that need targeted information about their pay and benefits programs in order to better understand competitive market conditions and pay practices in their specific industry, geographic area or competitor pool.

Compensation Administration and Internal Communication
We can help you draft and design compensation policies, procedures and communication tools that provide clear direction for your management team to make salary decisions and provide employees with clear, timely and consistent communication to enable better understanding of the organization's compensation and benefits plans and programs.
