Strategic benefits & employee compensation with heart and foresight
Andrea Kiemen-Rognsvoog brings C-suite experience, creative thinking, and a deep understanding of employee needs to help HR and finance leaders build smarter, people-first benefit strategies.
Backed by the power of Lockton
Let me give you a little background. I’ve had a seat at the executive table from early on in my career, and over the years, I’ve led teams both in person and remotely. That experience—combined with time spent working within healthcare systems and alongside employers—has given me a deep understanding of what HR and finance leaders are navigating every day.
I don’t believe in check-the-box consulting. My approach to employee benefits is strategic, human-centered, and aligned with your goals. I take the time to understand your culture, your budget, and the challenges you face—then help you build a benefits strategy that fits.
Whether you’re a CFO focused on cost mitigation or an HR leader looking to strengthen employee engagement, I bring structure and clarity to the process. Together, we’ll put the right employee benefits plan in place, backed by a strong team and the tools you need to communicate it effectively.
Best practices for employee compensation
Effective employee compensation begins with a clearly defined philosophy that aligns pay decisions to business strategy, performance expectations, and market realities. Best practices include establishing structured salary bands informed by reliable benchmarking data, maintaining internal pay equity, and regularly reviewing compensation against industry trends and workforce demographics. Transparent communication around how compensation is determined builds trust and strengthens retention.
How often should compensation be reviewed?
Compensation should be reviewed at least annually, with more frequent evaluations during periods of rapid growth, organizational change, or market volatility. An annual review ensures salary bands remain aligned with current market data, internal equity is preserved, and performance-based adjustments are applied consistently. Regular, proactive compensation reviews help organizations prevent pay compression, address retention risks early, and maintain a workforce that feels valued and fairly rewarded.
