Foster a positive culture that is diverse, fair and inclusive

Many organizations do not conduct pay equity analyses among their executive leadership teams because they do not think it is possible:

“Too few people to analyze; the positions are ungraded; leaders operate across different functions.”

We are uniquely positioned to address your executive pay equity needs: Each of these supposed restrictions can be addressed via innovative methods developed exclusively by C3 Nonprofit Consulting Group. In fact, looking at pay equity for executives is perhaps the most straightforward of any pay equity analysis an organization can conduct
