Situation
When the City of Plano approached CPS HR Consulting, they faced a challenge familiar to many municipalities: how to maintain a competitive compensation system that attracts top talent while ensuring fiscal responsibility. With a longstanding philosophy of positioning pay at median +5% of market competitors, the City needed expert guidance to evaluate whether this approach was still serving their workforce and taxpayers effectively. They selected CPS HR Consulting for our proven track record in public sector compensation and our reputation for delivering practical, implementable solutions that address both immediate and long-term needs.
