  • Identifying pay opportunities to distinguish Kodiak as an employer
  • Assisting with implementation, training and roll-out of new tools

  • New compensation structure
  • Incentive pay design & pay practices
  • Compensation education for all employee levels
  • Workforce dashboard & compensation metrics
