Focal planning is hard but it doesn’t have to be that way


HR focal planning is a critical process for any organization, but it can be time-consuming and complex. At Nua, we offer a comprehensive approach to focal planning that does not leave a single important detail unnoticed.


Our team of HR experts can help with every step of the focal planning process, from goal setting to implementation. We do this by combining our expertise as consultants with staff augmentation capabilities to temporarily supplement your existing compensation team, filling skills gaps and meeting the increased work demands.


From reviewing and updating salary structures and equity guidelines to reflect the current market, to reviewing technology processes supporting focal planning, and developing a comprehensive plan for manager readiness, arming managers to handle the process in the most efficient way - we have the whole spectrum of HR focal planning covered. 


And when it's time to execute, our team is ready to step in and take action.
