The quiet cost of leaving pay alone.
Reward problems don't arrive with a warning siren. They show up as an unexpected resignation, an awkward grievance, a bonus that drained cash in a flat year, or a salary that's hard to explain. They're common, and every one of them can be fixed.
The bonus went out in full and margin didn't move. The scheme was still paying for last year's target, not this year's profit. Most schemes drift that way, and it's fixable before the next payout.
A regretted leaver costs you their salary again to replace. Nobody writes 'pay' on the exit form - they say 'new challenge'. Often, it was pay.
Pay is being agreed case by case, in corridors. Usually because managers have nothing clear to work from. It's rarely anyone's fault, but the next person who asks why will want a proper answer.
The spreadsheet works right up until someone asks why Sarah is a Grade 4 and Tom isn't. Most businesses get that question sooner or later, and it's a much easier meeting with the answer ready.
