We provide UK businesses with essential benchmarking and reward solutions (hence our name, EBRS), helping you to make the most of how you reward your employees. 

How we can help you

Set up in 2009, EBRS can help you by providing tailored support on anything from checking your pay rates to conducting a full review of your reward strategy.
Getting employee reward right will help your organisation to recruit and retain the people you need so that you can meet your business objectives.
Organisations spend large amounts on rewarding their employees, but often don’t employ a reward specialist or haven’t got the time to focus on complex reward issues.
Based in Chepstow, we work with clients across the country, either alongside their HR team or by providing a standalone reward resource that they can draw on as required.
We can work with you to understand your organisation and your requirements, before recommending an appropriate solution - we won't try to sell you services that you don't need!

Our Reward Services

Reward can be a complex field and we can help guide you through it.
Sometimes our clients just want us to advise them on the market rate for a role, but often they want us to check and help improve their reward systems.
Areas we can support you in include:
  • assessing reward strategy.
  • job evaluation and job profiling.
  • pay benchmarking.
  • pay and bonus system design.
  • running employee focus groups
  • conducting equal pay audits.
  • supporting your annual pay review.
Contact us on 01291 623258 or email us at admin@ebrs.co.uk so we can tailor our support to your specific requirements. 

Surveys currently open

We are running two surveys looking at likely pay awards and reward trends for 2020 - click the links to find out more:

'Karl's work has been extremely influential in helping to determine and align our reward strategy with our future growth strategy.'
'I found the EBRS report helpful and far more relevant than anything we had previously used for Executive benchmarking.'
