You fall into 1 of 3 buckets.
You're either:
✅Leading the market: Paying top dollar to attract and retain the best employees.
🟨 Matching the market: Paying what your competitors are paying and competing for the same talent pool.
🔴 Lagging the market: Paying below market rates and making it harder to attract and keep your best employees.
