An organization’s ability to meet business goals and sustain a competitive advantage comes from a talented workforce that’s motivated to achieve superior results and tied to the organization for the long term.
Burke Group clients rely on our senior consultants to help align rewards with long-term business goals to create value for all stakeholders: shareholders, executives and employees. We provide day-to-day direction and guidance at each stage of a project, from research and assessment, to strategy, planning and implementation.

We maintain an extensive database on base salaries and annual and long-term incentives. We can benchmark virtually any position based on industry, size, revenue and location in both private and public sectors.
