Analyzing a subsidiary’s HR budget

The task

We were asked by a German headquarter to analyze the rationality of the HR budget of its China subsidiary. The subsidiary proposed a general, 11% increase of the gross salary for the coming year.

Our approach

Instead of relying solely on institutional salary reports, we did a custom salary field survey to compare similar companies from the company’s industry. Our goal was to find ‘true’ benchmark figures. The comparison was conducted inclusively from functions to position grades. Other impact factors such as CPI index and the company’s market position were also considered.

The outcome

Some of the positions‘ salaries were found to be out of market level, but most were in a competitive range. The German headquarter was relieved to see that its China subsidiary was on track.
