ما هو Salary Benchmarking؟ | مصطلحات الموارد البشرية | BambooHR
Comparing pay for roles against external market data to inform reward decisions.
Salary benchmarking is the process of comparing the pay for roles in your organisation against external market data — from surveys, sector reports or specialist providers — to understand how competitive your reward is. It grounds pay decisions in evidence rather than guesswork.
Benchmarking underpins the design of salary bands, informs offers to candidates, and helps retain existing staff by identifying where pay has drifted below the market. It works best when roles are matched carefully by content rather than title alone.
In the Irish and EU context, robust benchmarking is increasingly important for defending pay decisions under the EU Pay Transparency Directive and gender pay gap reporting. Reliable, current data and consistent methodology are essential to make comparisons meaningful.
