This update provides an overview of the project’s current status, outlines upcoming next steps, and explains how employees can stay informed as the work moves forward.
Here is what you should know right now: |
- The project is still moving forward. No final compensation decisions have been made as data sources and validation steps are being reviewed and confirmed. This is an important, countywide effort, and we are taking the time needed to get it right.
- Your feedback and concerns matter. When questions are raised, whether in Commissioners Court or through employee channels—we take them seriously. They help us double-check the work, clarify information, and strengthen the final outcome.
- Fairness and consistency remain the goal. The purpose of this project is to create a unified, equitable, and market-aligned compensation framework that supports employees across Harris County.
|
What happens next: Over the next two to three weeks, our team will continue doing the careful, responsible work needed to move this project forward, including: |
- Carefully reviewing the information used in the study and responding to questions raised at Commissioners Court
- Clarifying the methodology and how the findings should be interpreted—what the study can and cannot conclude.
- Sharing an updated project status summary so employees understand timing, next steps, and what to expect.
|
What you can expect from us: |
- Thoughtful, transparent communication that clearly explains what’s changing, what isn’t, and why.
- Continued support from the Human Resources and Talent (HRT) team, with resources available to help answer questions along the way.
