Many organizations struggle with internal pay equity issues, where experienced or highly qualified team members may earn less than less-qualified colleagues performing the same work. This is often due to salaries being set by negotiation power rather than the employee’s actual value or market worth, leading to frustrating inconsistencies such as a Manager earning less than an Officer, which ultimately drives high talent attrition and substantial organizational cost.
Some companies face the challenge of structural overstaffing, where the payroll is disproportionately large compared to the actual volume of work. This creates a hidden redundancy cost, resulting in suboptimal employee utilization and significant financial drain. This imbalance fosters frustration among results-oriented staff who feel burdened by non-performing colleagues, leading to an evident lack of performance ownership, role clarity, teamwork, and overall reduced productivity.
If your organization is experiencing either or both of these costly conditions, pay inequity or overstaffing, the solution requires a proactive intervention. We recommend conducting Job Analysis and Job Evaluation exercises to calibrate internal salary structures, optimize staffing levels, and increase efficiency.
