Case study · Settle

A career framework that helped a charity retain staff and attract new talent.

Settle supports young people as they move into their first homes from the care system. When the team reached 12 people, they wanted to formalise progression and pay.

Why they came to us

In late 2020, Settle wanted to keep growing and create meaningful opportunities for salary progression and career development.

How we worked together

We created three salary bands for each role based on competencies, benchmarked pay against competitors and designed a performance appraisal process for the team.

The result

Clearly defined salary bands made progression visible, improved flexibility when recruiting and gave the organisation a stronger foundation for retaining talented people.

“We were incredibly pleased with the outcome. This has directly helped us to improve our staff retention by offering progression as well as enabling us to attract new talent in the organisation.”
