Why Is Salary Benchmarking Important To A Company?

Recognising and rewarding your employees can be as simple as a pat on the back to offering a better pay package. What is important is that you need to let them feel valued, recognised and rewarded for the contribution they make to your business. While people do not often switch jobs for the sake of money alone, but if you underpay, it is a definite de-motivator. So why is salary benchmarking important to a company?
