About Us

JANE BAALAM

Director

I admit I am a “geek”, an HR professional who likes to work with numbers. I am an MCIPD qualified pay and reward specialist and I have almost 20 years’ experience of making salary structures work.

Recently I have worked as a consultant across a variety of sectors including: aerospace, utilities, construction, housing and social care, media and manufacturing. I work at all levels including executive and remuneration committee support.

Since I discovered in the 80’s that I was closer to retirement than the top of my company’s payscale, I have always been interested in gender pay and the reasons why its exists. This inevitably leads to a focus on fairness and equity, at all levels.
What You Get
Practical advice and support in the design, development and implementation of your pay structures, helping you to link reward and performance management to your wider business strategy.

I have worked in-house and know the issues and concerns you are likely to experience as your project progresses. You have the freedom to think through your ideas in a safe environment, with someone who knows the reality.

The biggest risk an organisation can face is discontent from its employees. Manage the pay, communicate with staff, take away their concerns and they can focus on delivering a good job instead.

Gender pay is a pressing issue in the UK, and this is one issue that will not go away in the short term. Even organisations with a good (low) pay gap may not be aware of their underlying risks. Getting it right depends on good underpinning practices, and carefully developed policies and procedures. With my help, you will be able to identify what your issues are and plan to address them.

Even in the most advanced HR teams, there is often not enough time to audit the policies in practice and this is where my services can help:

– Reviewing reward and compensation strategies

– Job evaluation and market pricing of job roles and terms

– Guidance on benefits and incentive packages

– Implementing performance related pay arrangements

– Delivering training on developing and implementing fair and equitable pay policies

ANDREW CARTER

Associate Director

I joined RRM Ltd after finishing a full career in HR for the Royal Air Force and bring with me a detailed knowledge of the Public Sector.

I have experience in advising senior management about salary and employment relations matters and am a pragmatic advisor who can cross-over from the public to other sectors as needed by our clients.

What You Get
I am solutions oriented, and my preferred method of delivery always involves ‘plain English’.  I have vast experience in an HR operational role, providing advice and guidance to executive and senior management on issues such as employee relations, changes in employment regulations and implementation of revised personnel policies.

As an experienced evaluator, I carry out analysis of job profiles using our bespoke job evaluation system and assists our clients in identifying where and how they might improve their role documentation.  This combined with my research and analysis skills, ensures our clients receive a well-rounded response to their salary and terms benchmarking projects.

Being an advocate of fairness and equality in all things employment related, combined with my highly-honed data analysis skills, also makes me a thorough and competent auditor for our equal pay/gender pay assessments.
