An internal mobility strategy empowers employees to pursue roles that align with their interests while building skills needed within the organization.
Gallup found the #1 reason employees left their roles during the Great Resignation was because they could not see opportunities for development. According to LinkedIn, finding a job that pays more is the leading reason employees are leaving their jobs in 2023. Creating job architecture that includes both career and pay growth is an opportunity for companies to minimize employee turnover.
Career architecture serves as a visual roadmap for growth and development, helping employees “map” their futures within the organization rather than looking for growth outside. To capture present and future requirements for roles and skills, career architecture should continually evolve with organizational strategy. This enables companies to address modern workforce demands characterized by increased job mobility, the need for diverse skill sets, and changing job requirements.

"It was a pleasure to work with the Acera team. I greatly appreciated the level of expertise, insights and patience that they brought to our organization."
"Within my former company, we were scattered in terms of compensation philosophy but through Acera’s leadership, together, we built a strong compensation philosophy that aligned with our organizational values and goals. By having a detailed compensation strategy we were able to engage with our people to explain how their contributions fit into the organization and how and why the employee is rewarded. We also gained reliable insight into the market value of our roles as they exist today and how that will continue to evolve through future growth and funding. This will help us make better talent and financial decisions going forward."

At Acera Partners, we work to unite talent and compensation strategies. Most organizations view these as separate activities. When approached separately, one can undermine the other and become pain points, failing to achieve their intended impact for companies.
Relentlessly curious, we go deeper than most. Other consultancies talk with just a couple of senior leaders to gain a perspective on the current business state. We develop broad perspectives by talking with multiple key influencers and reviewing all available data.
Unlike many consultancies, we don’t use templated plans or prescribed solutions that are built for obsolescence. Our collaborative work process means we’re not delivery our solutions. We’re co-creating your solutions.
Finally, we know role and compensation changes can be very emotional and stressful for leaders and employees. To get everyone onboard and ensure they are ready to implement and take ownership of the recommended changes, we focus on developing change management and communication strategies. This enables stakeholder buy-in at every stage of the project.
Our work begins with a thorough discovery process to help us understand the current state of your organization and discover new opportunities for growth. This includes reviewing available data and gathering perspective from a broad group of stakeholders throughout the organization. Through this process, we truly become students of your business.
