Recent Work
- “Worcester City Council engaged Reuben to undertake a review of the effectiveness and competitiveness of the Council’s pay and grading system. One of the objectives was to provide assurance that the Council had implemented its grading system fairly and consistently. This involved benchmarking, reviewing generic role profile and JE assumptions, liaison with trade unions and managers, proposing new procedures. We approached Reuben because of his vast knowledge of fair pay and job evaluation principles in the local government sector, as well as his sensitive and savvy approach. We worked together for the best part of 12 months and were delighted with the outcome – all of his recommendations were adopted by employer and unions without any dissent. Reuben strikes an excellent balance between relying on his impressive knowledge base and taking on board the perspectives of others. He was attuned to the nuances of our organisation and designed solutions which work for us.” – Sian Stroud, Corporate Director Planning and Governance, Worcester City Council
