3rd Quartile is a new approach to total compensation - bringing both art and science to pay practices. Ask yourself. Are we market competitive? Is our bonus really driving performance? Are we pay equity compliant? Do we have fair pay practices? Why are we still losing employees? How about our executive pay? Do benefit plans really matter? What does wellness really mean? Unlimited vacation? 3rd Quartile makes sense of these and many more concerns to ensure your programs are always right on the money. At 3rd Quartile, we get to know our client's business environment first and then focus on outcomes, not on process. We love Excel almost more than anyone we know. Finding meaningful trends through data analytics is one of our key strengths. We dig deep through the spreadsheets, uncover needles in the haystack and talk them through so everyone's on the same page. We incorporate the emotions, expectations, perceptions and misconceptions around pay into our work to develop solutions that make sense, in easy to understand language, with budgets that get approved and outcomes that are embraced. Our job is to simplify unapproachable topics and give everyone the chance to learn something new along the way. In short, we take strategic compensation and HR to the next level. We are honest, approachable and on your side. If you are seeking a true business partner, that's us. When your next total compensation issue comes up (and it will), help yourself - reach out. We are confident you will be more than satisfied with our experience. You never know until you ask.
