ABB's challenge

ABB is a technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more sustainable and resource-efficient future. With over 130 years of experience and 105,000 employees, this manufacturing firm required our support with:

• An insight into external salary and benefits available across roles in production, engineering, finance, quality, and procurement.
• Ensuring that not only were ABB remunerating their teams fairly and equitably, but in line with competitors through a difficult economic backdrop.
• Examining benefits such as bonuses, holiday entitlement, car allowance, and pension contributions.
• Understanding wider incentives available in the market and offered by their competitors.

How our People and Data Intelligence team helped

We worked with ABB to fully understand the roles that needed benchmarking, going beyond the job titles to understand the core responsibilities, professional qualifications, and tenure expected in post. 

Our Data Intelligence team subsequently produced a report outlining the lower, median, and upper salary ranges available in the market across the 13 roles identified. With the base salaries, the team also provided data on the bonus, pension, and holiday entitlement available, as well as the average time to hire for each role to demonstrate the ease of recruitment. 

Candidate supply was examined, and in the locations provided by the client, we provided the number of candidates available for each role, and the gender split across each. A report was given to the client to fully demonstrate the findings, along with all sources and references used.
