Case Study: BirdLife International achieves fairer pay structures with gradar

How BirdLife International is leading the way for the NGO sector in the field of fair and equal pay structures

BirdLife International, a global conservation partnership, struggled with a manual and inefficient Excel-based system for job grading and compensation, which lacked transparency and was prone to bias. They engaged Gradar to implement its software for a fair, point-factor based job evaluation and compensation analysis, a project made possible through Gradar's free NGO offering.

Gradar provided a unified system to evaluate all roles, establish logical job titles, and create evidence-based salary bands. The solution eliminated the need for spreadsheets, introduced greater fairness and transparency into pay structures, and allowed BirdLife to clearly map employee career paths and justify compensation decisions with data.
