From inception, our experts have been guided by the following core values which help in shaping our internal company culture and client relationships:
Job Evaluation
Our Job Evaluation (JE) Services draw from best practice guidelines and methodologies to help analyze, profile and determine the worth of each role in your organization and their connections to your overall objective as a company. Each role plays a part in keeping the wheels turning - our job is to clearly map out these roles and break them down to figures that you would be able to relate to.
Succession planning framework
Our service here identifies and maps out your Tier 1 talent who are able to fill the big shoes of the company. This deals with the smooth transfer of leadership capacities, thereby ensuring business continuity.
Change Management
The weight and impact of change differs from company to company. No matter the scope of the change your company needs, Kimberly Ryan can support you. Our Change Management approach opens the minds of our client’s Management and Stakeholders to ensure that detailed attention is given to processes and procedures that will shift the company from the current state to the destination.
After decades of experience in HR, Kimberly Ryan understands the impact of something as little as effective communication during Change Management. Kimberly Ryan can help manage the employee communication aspect in the most professional way that ensures that your employees are excited or at least at ease about the unknown future.

HR Strategy
It is key that your people strategy aligns with your business strategy. More important than that is the adequate formulation of the people strategy and ensuring the proper communication to all internal stakeholders. We partner with our clients to articulate their people initiatives with the endgame of driving business goals and productivity.
Workforce Planning
Our service in this regard ensures our clients clearly map out the required talent for the present and future growth of the organization. We draw from decades of insights and apply best practice tools and techniques to retain your talent.
Performance Management Redesign
We understand the importance of being able to make a tangible link between employee performance and organizational goals. Our seasoned consultants leverage best practices and methodologies to map out performance systems that align daily tasks to the overall objectives of the company.
Rewards and Recognition Strategies
Still in line with the belief that your people are your greatest asset, we also preach a competitive reward system. It is important to note that the right reward system can sustain and improve employee performance.
The people are behind the productivity of your business. It is our responsibility to find out what is behind the people that can propel them to give their all to ensure business success. Over the years, we have come across clients that have built the wrong perception that monetary reward is the start and end to what drives employees. Recent economic factors have also played a part in restricting employers focus on compensation – a fact we do not ignore. However, our data and experience, especially in the recent economic changes, have shown clients that we are able to plan your workforce compensation and benefits packages to create a satisfied workforce.
The rationale behind our Employee Reward Strategy is simple – effective and in alignment with your business objectives, yet plain enough for administration by your HR and acceptable and pleasing to your employees.
Our Employee Reward & Strategy helps our clients in the following areas:
• Competitive salaries and incentive packages across board to help with retention of your talent.
• Build an effective and sustainable reward and recognition strategy that can develop motivation and engagement of your talent.
• Build and plan career paths for your talent to improve employee motivation.
• In-depth Job Evaluation Analysis.
• Internal Pay Equity Analysis.
• Performance appraisal systems
