There are different methods you can use to determine how your organization compares to the marketplace. You can find wage information on government websites; however, the information can be fairly generic and may not match roles in your organization.

Lastly, salary surveys can be purchased from reputable sources with employer-reported data, which can be an effective way to compare against how you are compensating roles in your organization.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-decision-making\"><span style=\"color: #42337e; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Decision-Making<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Understanding market best practices helps in many key decision-making scenarios.
