2014 Total Compensation Survey August 1, 2012 Lidia Santiesteban OSHRD Compensation
Objective • Discuss an overview of the 2014 Total Compensation Survey and recommended improvements. • Provide the group with projected deadlines of steps in the critical path of the survey process. • Discuss agencies’ desired changes to the process and ideal end product.
2014 TCS Process Improvement Objectives • Streamline and enhance our salary survey process by: • Aligning methodology with industry standards, • Minimizing the scope of the survey to facilitate responses, • Developing appropriate criteria to target most comparable participants, • Revising the benchmark selection process, • Modernizing the benchmark descriptions, and • Reconsidering and validating the indexing process.
What Needs Fixing… • Every two years we use a consultant to conduct a customized compensation and benefits survey at a cost of ~ $147,000. • The survey is cumbersome; the benchmark descriptions are long, wordy and not consistent with professional survey standards. • We do not use the benefits component of the survey results for any identifiable purpose. • We use the compensation component of the survey results to determine the market rates (in 2006, 2008 and 2010, neither the salary structure nor individual salaries were adjusted as a result of the market comparison). • It is not used for salary setting purposes for new classes or for new hires. • It does not include WMS or Exempt positions and it is not used in setting market based salaries for this group.
Discussion Period • What is your agency’s current/desired use/applicability of the survey? • Of the changes we are undertaking, what is the most important to your agency? • In an ideal world what would the final survey product do for your agency?
Survey Timeline • August 2012 • Communicate 2014 TCS plan to Labor Relations Office, unions, agencies and higher education institutions. • Finalize draft benchmark descriptions and indexing relationships. • September 2012 • Hold benchmark and indexing briefing sessions for agencies and higher education institutions. • October 2012 • Identify survey participants. • Gather benchmark and indexing feedback from agencies and higher education institutions. • November –December 2012 • Hold benchmark and indexing briefing sessions for unions. • Receive benchmark and indexing feedback from unions. • Receive feedback on survey participants from all stakeholders.
