Turn Your #1 Cost Into Your Biggest Return on Investment
For the majority of companies, employee pay is their #1 cost. It is also a significant part of why employees come and stay with your organization. Yet most organizations do not approach compensation strategically. It is a check-the-box activity.
By aligning compensation strategy with the business strategy, Acera helps clients turn their #1 cost into their biggest return on investment. Identifying and paying for critical talent and skills, rather than tenure and experience, leads to greater pay progression, internal pay equity, and external competitiveness.
Building Trust Through Pay
Acera helps navigate the emotional impact associated with compensation changes. We prioritize change management and communication to accelerate successful adoption and implementation. When managers are trained to feel confident and comfortable with pay and performance conversations, they build trust while assuring employees they are being paid fairly.
Through strategic communication and pay transparency, employees gain agency to increase their pay through skill growth and business outcomes.

Talent and compensation strategies are often approached separately within organizations, leading to confusion and ineffective outcomes. Acera Partners integrates these two strategies to unleash growth for both your people and the organization.

CFO, Global Fortune 100 Automotive Technology Company
"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."
