Competitive compensation is essential to attracting, retaining, and motivating talented employees. Jorgenson Pace provides customized compensation and benefits studies for economic and community development organizations and chambers of commerce.

Every study begins with a conversation to understand your organization, compensation history, positions, and objectives. We then work with you to select comparable organizations based on relevant factors such as mission, budget, staff size, geographic reach, and organizational scope.

Because titles and responsibilities vary widely among organizations, we compare positions by function and responsibilities, not by title alone. We collect actual compensation data directly from participating organizations rather than relying on publicly available information or generalized market averages. All participant information is handled confidentially, and results are reported in a manner that protects individual and organizational data.

Depending on the scope of the engagement, our studies may evaluate:

• Base salary
• Incentive and performance compensation
• Retention compensation
• Retirement and health benefits
• Automobile and other allowances
• Paid time off and additional benefits
• Total compensation

Our analysis may include 25th-, 50th-, and 75th-percentile benchmarks, along with clear findings and practical recommendations. The completed study provides reliable, relevant market information to help your organization:

• Make informed compensation decisions
• Maintain internal and external competitiveness
• Attract and retain high-performing employees
• Identify positions that may be above or below the market
• Develop appropriate salary ranges and compensation strategies

The result is a clear, customized, and actionable compensation study designed around your organization, not a generic collection of market averages.
