A not-for-profit organization that serves the mentally disabled employs more than five hundred service personnel to care for its clients. Market conditions pressure the organization to re-evaluate its policies for compensating its nurses, trainers, and general service workers.
The human resources department, the finance department, and especially the board of directors wanted to know how changes in the compensation policies would affect the organization. The organization does not have the resources to perform multiple "what if" scenarios and analyze the costs. A compensation consultant was called in to help quantify and rationalize the new policy assumptions. But, calculating two simple scenarios with the new assumptions takes a month to complete.
I was hired to build an efficient compensation model that would reduce the turnaround time of calculating the impact of the new policy decisions.
