Other Compensation Trends
• Broadbanding
Consolidating salary grades and ranges into just a
few wide levels or “bands,” each of which contains a
relatively wide range of jobs and salary levels.
Pro and Cons
More flexibility in assigning workers to different job grades.
Provides support for flatter hierarchies and teams.
Promotes skills learning and mobility.
Lack of permanence in job responsibilities can be unsettling
to new employees.
