Wolseley
Wolseley UK has improved basic salaries of thousands of non-management employees in its network of branches. Following acquisitions over a period of time and a previous divisional based organisation structure, it became clear that parts of the organisation were paying different amounts of base pay, for reasons which were rooted in historical and legacy differences, rather than objective criteria.
The organisation also took the opportunity to clarify roles, and to develop tools for managers to assess the skills, knowledge and experience of their branch-based employees, to enable them to discuss with employees how they could progress their career. Wolseley created a career structure based on levels of experience and job requirements. The scheme ensures that employees who wish to stay in their current role are able to earn more from doing the same work, by improving their knowledge and skills.
