About Us
About the POE Group
The POE Group has been an independent compensation consulting firm since 1997. Our clients range from small businesses to Fortune 1000 companies in many different industries across the United States. We take pride in delivering experienced, independent, and candid compensation advisory services using a collaborative approach and for a reasonable fee. Our client retention ratio is above 90% in the last ten years, indicating the long-term value we provide.
Our engagements begin with gathering quantitative and qualitative information. We develop an understanding of the client’s industry, business drivers, organization, performance, and culture. Data is analyzed from multiple perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of an existing program’s strengths and weaknesses. New plan designs are driven by the company’s business strategy and culture.
An important aspect of our consulting approach is collaboration with our clients. We have found that this improves results by better aligning our recommendations to the cultural realities of the organization. Our clients consider us thought partners in designing compensation systems that fit with their organizations.
We are in business to serve our clients and strive to share our knowledge and experience. We do not provide benefits consulting, insurance placement, or other ancillary services. However, we do partner with other independent consultants who are experts in their specific fields to provide a full array of services to our clients.
Our consulting services include:
- Executive Compensation

- Performance Metrics & Feedback Systems

Our services include the following. Click “Read More” below each topic to learn more about the way the POE Group helps businesses succeed.
Executive Compensation Consulting
The design of an executive compensation plan is a complex process. Each facet of the firm’s regulatory requirements, financial state, and company culture must be carefully considered and integrated into the design of each plan. We help our executive compensation clients make informed decisions by turning complex data into meaningful information.
Employee Compensation Consulting
Aligning employee compensation systems to the business goals and culture of organizations is an integral step to creating a high performance organization. There are many approaches to consider, each of which communicates a different message to your employees. We can help ensure the messaging hits the mark.
Sales Force Compensation Consulting
We recognize that a company can have a well-designed sales compensation plan and not achieve desired results. A well-executed communication plan is as important as a sound plan design. There are many stakeholders that should be included in the change management process to implement a new sales compensation plan. We partner with the client to create a communications plan that takes into consideration the different stakeholders, the timing of the communications, message content, communication channels, and the communicator.
Performance Metrics & Feedback Systems
Performance measurement and feedback are central to achieving breakthrough results. We help clients develop those important measures, across the different levels in the organization, to support their strategic and tactical goals. Feedback systems provide the correcting loop to incrementally improve results for the enterprise, department, and individual.
