"I hired Joann as a consultant to create a job architecture and compensation structure to support the scalability of our fast-growing company. Her expertise and partnership proved invaluable. Joann took care in understanding our business and listening to key stakeholders. I appreciated her staying on top of deliverables through her project management skills and strong sense of ownership. Joann is extremely knowledgeable and a tremendous resource."
Kristen Bergeson
VP, HR @ Movement
"Joann worked with FCC Services on a Total Rewards program that helped us explain the full range of benefits available at our company. While there is a tendency to focus on base pay, there is so much more. We differentiate ourselves with robust health benefits, amazing 401k matches, an annual bonus program for every employee and a dynamic, flexible culture. Joann helped us remind our employees that we are truly a distinctive and special place to work."
Scott Binder
CEO @ FCC Services
"I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with Joann throughout my career. Not only is she an expert in the compensation space, but she is a true partner, someone who comes alongside you and seeks to understand your needs and goes above and beyond in the product she delivers. Joann is one of the greatest people I have ever worked with. She has taught me so much and left me wanting to learn even more in the compensation world. Her knowledge is unparalleled and the way she goes about her work is what truly sets her apart – she is driven by her morals and values and is one of the most trustworthy and ethical persons I know."
Amanda Sarti
Owner @ Sherpa HR
"I first met Joann back in 2011, when we served on the Rocky Mountain Total Rewards Association (RMTRA) board together. More recently, Joann worked with my organization, Children’s Hospital Colorado, to update IT job descriptions and compensation structures. She excelled at building relationships with IT leaders, working with them to understand how work is assigned and how team members are developed and progressed through our job titles. In the end, Joann completed the project on time and delivered great results – we reduced the number of IT job titles by 50% and aligned every role, every team member with market. I would highly recommend Joann’s services on any and all compensation related projects."
Melissa Fisher
Director, Total Rewards @ Children's Hospital Colorado
"I have enjoyed working with Joann since 2008 when we were teammates in the Compensation Unit in the State of Colorado’s Department of Personnel and Administration (DPA). Joann excels in working as a team, strategic planning, identifying and addressing the issues, executing a project and communicating technical matters to her audience in a straight forward manner. Her processes are well thought out and she is precise in conducting each step along the way.
We continue a co-consulting relationship, brainstorming ideas and sharing compensation and total rewards strategies and practices. And our continued friendship speaks to Joann’s down-to-earth style, integrity, energy and enthusiasm in both her professional and personal life.
I would seek Joann’s assistance anytime; which I did, when I was able to hire her for a second stint with DPA to assist me with special compensation and classification projects."
