Case Study: Planes achieves fairer pay transparency with Figures

Planes - Customer Case Study

Planes, a 30-person digital product design studio in the UK, needed to access accurate salary benchmarking data to ensure fair pay for its team. As an agency, they found most available data was irrelevant to their specific roles. Their challenge was to promote transparency, support employee wellbeing, and reduce pay gaps without a reliable source of information, leading them to seek a solution from Figures.

Using the Figures platform, Planes gained access to detailed salary data filtered for agencies and consultancies. This allowed them to create transparent salary bandings, conduct regular pay reviews, and perform gender pay gap analysis. The results included increased trust and transparency with the team, the ability to accurately level new roles, and significant time savings for the people team. Figures also provided a new budgeting feature that streamlined financial planning for raises.
