ECI's compensation consultants:

• assure clients that their compensation expenditures are appropriate and effective;
• help employers develop programs that provide base pay to diverse groups of employees "fairly" (considering such things as job complexity, responsibility, working conditions: salary increase procedures; performance appraisal programs);
• assist management in developing schemes to incent employees to behave in specific ways and/or achieve certain results (cash and stock based incentives);
• guide organizations in locating information to help them evaluate the competitiveness of their pay programs;
• develop analyses of client's total compensation and benefit packages which will answer questions such as:

• interviews -  with BOD members, key executives, professionals and additional staff to understand corporate culture
• salary administration documentation
