    Benefits & Total Rewards

    A holistic total compensation strategy is about more than just salary—it’s about creating an intentional plan that meets the needs of your team and fits your resources. Edgility’s Benefits and Total Rewards service reveals tailored strategies that balance effective pay, robust benefits, and meaningful non-monetary rewards. We survey your staff to understand their priorities and how they currently access and utilize existing benefits. We then benchmark your organization against your peers and provide a comprehensive report to help you understand how you can best structure a benefits program that will differentiate your organization and align with staff priorities. Our recommendations incorporate health and wellness programs, retirement plans, professional development opportunities, and workplace flexibility. By aligning total rewards with your budgetary considerations and employee needs, we help you build a supportive environment where employees feel valued and energized to drive your mission forward.

    Our work often requires rapid responses due to the nature of helping activists who are at risk. We’re grateful to Edgility for helping us slow down and take a step back to assess the health of our organization from a salary, equity, and performance perspective. It’s important that we reward our employees for their brave work. We look forward to continuing to partner with Edgility to develop and improve our internal systems.

    Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Planned Parenthood of Southern New England

    While Planned Parenthood of Southern New England (PPSNE) has worked to increase racial equity internally and externally, the racial reckoning of 2020 illuminated the need to ask ourselves what more we can do.  With Edgility's methodology, we had clear data points and recommendations to create a plan internally to address any wage gaps and further our commitment to racial equity.
