Overview
All of our employee-level (P1-M6) benchmarks include a Consistency Label, which provides insight into the variability of the underlying data within each benchmark to provide context on how reliably it represents the market. Consistency labels reference the confidence interval of each benchmark as a measure of its consistency.
Employee Consistency Labels: The Employee Compensation tab includes role-specific benchmarks for non-executive levels. Benchmarks across all compensation types (cash and equity) are bucketed into the following Consistency Labels:
In the example below, Benchmark A and Benchmark B have the same benchmark value for the 50th percentile and the same number of samples. However, you can see that the data points in Benchmark A actually cluster below the 50th percentile and right above the 50th percentile, indicating that there is limited consistency in how the market is compensating this role. Benchmark A would be labeled as Low Consistency.
In Benchmark B, the data follows a normal distribution and is clustered around the 50th percentile, indicating there is consistency in how the market is compensating this role. Benchmark B would be labeled as High Consistency.
Where to Access
When using the product, you’ll be able to identify the Consistency Label of a given benchmark in a few different ways.
- In the table view, a Consistency Label will be associated with each benchmark:
- When hovering on each Consistency Label, you can understand more about the consistency label, confidence interval, and sample sizes of each benchmark
- Reports generated will include columns that identify the Consistency Label, confidence interval, and sample sizes for each benchmark
For more information on how we calculate Consistency labels, please review our Consistency Labels FAQ.
