The Right Compensation Strategy Changes Everything.

Most growing companies don’t think about compensation until they have to—when top talent walks away, turnover spikes, or incentive plans fail to drive results.

At High Tide Total Rewards, we help companies get ahead of those challenges by designing compensation, sales incentives, and total rewards strategies that fuel performance and growth.

Whether you need a market-driven pay strategy, a high-impact incentive plan, or strategic HR leadership, we help you turn compensation into a competitive advantage.

Who We Help

We partner with high-growth companies that are scaling fast but haven’t yet built the structured pay strategies needed to retain and motivate their workforce.

Our clients include:

✔ Scaling startups & mid-market companies ready to optimize their rewards strategy
✔ PE-backed firms needing structured compensation plans for leadership & workforce retention
✔ Sales-driven organizations looking to build incentive plans that actually work
✔ Companies expanding or restructuring that need expert compensation guidance

If you’re making critical hiring, pay, or retention decisions, we’ll help you ensure they’re backed by strategy, not guesswork.
