  • Foster a culture of open communication, feedback, and continuous learning, ensuring managers feel supported in their role.


3 Compensation & Total Rewards Strategy:

  • Lead the bench marking, data analysis, and development of compensation programs across all levels of the agency, including executive compensation.
  • Manage annual compensation cycles, including the year-end process, ongoing administrative support, and alignment with organizational goals.
  • Work closely with leadership to develop compensation packages, bonus structures, and incentives to attract and retain top talent in a competitive marketplace.


4 Employee Benefits & Wellness Programs:

  • Oversee the development and administration of comprehensive benefits programs, including health, wellness, and retirement plans.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations related to benefits, leave policies, and employee rights.
  • Continuously assess and refine benefits offerings to ensure they meet the needs of a diverse workforce and support employee well-being.
  • Ensure that compensation programs are competitive, equitable, and aligned with business goals, leveraging external market data to inform decisions.
  • Oversee ad-hoc compensation adjustments throughout the year, ensuring alignment with performance, budget, and business priorities.
