OUR APPROACH TO COMPENSATION and BENEFITS STRATEGY

Not-for-profit and health care organizations are at a critical time. By their very nature, they must have sustainable strategies and levels of oversight designed for the unique business environment they operate within. Health care especially requires a unique and varied insight into the challenges of today and tomorrow. From boards of directors to executives to clinicians to employees, demonstration of sound governance, fiduciary oversight and risk management is essential.

SullivanCotter’s approach is simple and straight-forward. With each and every client, we begin our scoping process well before the project begins through the following:

• Ensuring our Independence with regard to any potential conflict of interest. This begins before we ever start our work to ensure we understand the critical issues associated with sound governance.
• Carefully articulating the problem that needs to be solved.
• Scoping out the process required to deliver the most value both in quality and in speed to completion.

Once we scope out the process, we diligently define the appropriate process to begin work, factoring in sound governance and fiscal oversight.
