Reward is complicated.
We help colleges make sense of it.
Pay and reward affect everyone in a college. We’ve got the specialist advice, trusted tools and sector data to help you tackle the issues – from job evaluation and pay structures to equal pay, benchmarking and senior pay.
Protecting your college, supporting your staff
As colleges face continued challenges around recruitment, retention and financial transparency, many are now revisiting how they evaluate and structure staff roles.
Implementing a robust job evaluation process not only helps colleges mitigate the risk of expensive equal pay claims but also improves recruitment, increases retention and promotes trust and loyalty among staff.
Using a rigorous, evidence-based tool such as FEDRA, specifically designed by and for the education sector, ensures that your pay decisions are defendable and your grading structures are transparent and consistent, thereby meeting the needs of all stakeholders within your college.
