After a reorganisation shrinks the job, does the incumbent keep their level?

I would think hard before removing a title after 24 months from someone who did nothing wrong. We kept the personal level indefinitely but froze it: no range in

Capping education allowances when international school fees rise 9% a year?

Look at what is inside the invoices before you cap tuition. A third of our spend was not tuition at all: capital levies, application fees, bus, uniforms, exam f

Red circles: we froze 41 people in 2023, and here is where they are three years later

Did the lump sums match what people would have had as a base increase? I ask because a full-value lump sum makes red-circling almost painless, which removes the

With a 2% merit budget, is a performance-by-position matrix still worth the effort?

✓ Accepted answer · We kept the matrix in a 2% year and collapsed it instead. Two performance groups, not three, and two range positions, below and above midpoint. Four cells: 3.5%

How did you find a mentor when nobody at your organisation does reward?

I mentor two people through the scheme here. What makes it easy to say yes: a specific request and a limit. Something like three conversations over three months

Which events are worth the budget in a first year, and which can wait?

Spread it in year one, conference in year two. A large conference is far better value when you already know twenty people and have specific problems to bring. I

We cut midpoint progression from 15% to 10% between grades and I would not do it again

We run 10% in the bottom four grades and 15–18% from professional levels upwards, and that mixed approach has been fine. Small steps suit roles where people mov

A strong candidate in Colombia and no entity there. Contractor or employer of record?

Job descriptions go stale in about 14 months. A lighter way we keep them current

Careful with the annual manager confirmation. Ours had a 97% 'yes, still accurate' rate, which I do not believe for a moment. We now ask the incumbent as well,
