Why PayScale?

In 2015, Mission implemented PayScale Insight to both create and support a consistent, structured compensation strategy—one that would scale with the company’s rapid growth and help attract and retain talent. With Insight, the company was also able to address long-standing gender pay inequities, increase transparency and enable Mission’s small multi-functional HR team to manage increasing compensation responsibilities without hiring additional staff.

The Results
IMPROVED EMPLOYEE VISIBILITY INTO CAREER AND COMPENSATION GROWTH.

Increased visibility into compensation has increased trust between managers and employees and improved employee motivation. “With Insight Lab, our employees have a broader view of their growth opportunity. Managers are free to share more data with employees, because Insight Lab gives us access to even more sources and makes data easily sharable,” said Hernandez. “Our employees always know where they fall in the pay range—and they understand we’re basing our decisions on data, not guesswork. They’re confident that we’re giving them the best possible salary.”

FASTER, MORE ACCURATE DECISIONS BY USING A COMPENSATION TOOL THAT LEARNS OVER TIME.

Insight Lab’s ability to learn over time through machine learning not only saves HR time effort but ensures Mission’s compensation strategy can grow and change more organically, based on Mission’s unique needs and history. “This helps us make compensation decisions that are right for us, decisions that automatically fit our strategy and goals. We’re also able to make these decisions faster and more accurately.”

INCREASED ACCESS TO DATA SOURCES.

With Insight Lab, Sophia and her team have access to more types of data, including quarterly updated employee- and employer-sourced data. Insight Lab also automatically organizes this data and recommends which sources to use to reduce uncertainty and save time.

ENABLED COMPETITOR SALARY COMPARISONS AND TRUE COMPENSATION TRANSPARENCY.

The enhanced compensation data available in Insight Lab ensures Mission knows what it takes to be competitive within more than 14 markets. “We have to make sure we are staying on top of the market to pay our employees to attract and keep great talent. Using Insight Lab, we’re able to show all our managers where they stand on salary and how our compensation compares to our competitors’.”

ENGAGED MANAGERS IN COMPENSATION DECISIONS.

Insight Lab customers have access to PayScale Team, which enables managers to be involved in the compensation process. With Insight Lab, compensation is no longer an annual event but a standard business practice, one that managers can participate in every day. “Our company is moving so quickly. We use Team to make it easier and faster for managers to collaborate with HR and provide input on increases,” said Hernandez. “Instead of having to share a spreadsheet or send hundreds of emails back and forth, everyone just goes to the Team page. Managers feel more empowered, and we know we’re getting a more complete picture of each employee.”

AUTOMATED INCREASE CYCLES.

Hernandez also relies on Team to streamline Mission’s increase cycles. “With Team, the process is automated and self- sustaining. I set up some configurations and didn’t have to do much else—no handholding. It’s now one less thing I have to worry about.”
