The Hillsborough Area Transit Authority selected Evergreen to conduct a comprehensive Compensation and Classification Study. The study was designed to progress through a series of tasks aimed at summarizing and defining the current classification and compensation system in place at the Authority; assess the equity of the system to ensure that, internally, the Authority was homogeneously compensating positions for the level of work actually performed; and systematically assess the ability of those systems to compete with the external labor market.
Evergreen worked closely with Authority leaders to evaluate, from the ground up, the current environment of the compensation and classification system in place. This included assessing the system from multiple angles to identify areas of possible compression, stagnation, and overall systematic weakness. From this point, Evergreen worked with the Authority to define a final total compensation and classification philosophy. Together, completion of these tasks allowed for clear identification of where the Authority was and where they wanted to be; ultimately allowing Evergreen to provide recommendations on steps to close the gap.
