Executive Compensation Consulting

Pedersen & Partners acts as a trusted advisor to Boards and senior management in the assessment of adequate compensation for their executives and managers. We develop innovative, tailor-made reward strategies with our clients. The results of our work ensure market competitiveness and motivating compensation structures for managers across all functions, industries, and geographies.

Without a doubt, compensation is one of the key factors for recruitment and retention of managers in companies around the world. Thus, these companies run the risk of losing key staff to their competitors if the salary packages are seemingly insignificant. Simultaneously, exorbitant salaries result in lower company profits. Therefore, the challenge is to develop a compensation program according to the salary packages of relevant positions in comparable companies. However, this information is rarely transparent for companies or for employees. Our task is to lead the, sometimes, emotional discussion on an objective basis.

Our compensation surveys strive to provide you with the most complete perspective on total compensation within the markets where Pedersen & Partners operates. The value of our advice is to provide you with the security that your compensation policy is aligned with market standards. By delivering personal advice and reports with objective and realistic data we strengthen your position in a salary negotiation through reliable written information.

By having our large executive search presence in emerging markets where data is not easily accessible and correct, practical compensation data even less so, Pedersen & Partners helps you to be better armed in the struggle to recruit and retain managers.

Our Executive Compensation Consulting practice works closely with our in-country executive search consultants. They are committed to providing clients with comprehensive, credible, and reliable advice – from research and assessment to strategy, planning, and implementation. Our goal is to create comprehensive compensation solutions that work for our clients.
