Accurate, relevant salary benchmarking

Salary benchmarking is the process by which compensation leaders compare salaries within their organization against those for similar external roles at other companies. This is how businesses determine whether their pay practices are competitive and in line with market rates.

Equity benchmarking follows a similar process as salary benchmarking, but looks specifically at the employee equity portion of compensation. This may include benchmarking against the market across several dimensions, such as new hire equity grants and ongoing or refresh equity grants.
