In this episode, Cathy Love is joined by Layland Webb, Business Manager at Nacre Consulting, for an insightful conversation about one of the most challenging topics for Allied Health Business Owners: making confident decisions about pay rises. Rather than relying on industry norms or blanket annual increases, Cathy and Layland explore why salary decisions should be guided by business performance, financial capacity, and individual contribution. Together, they unpack how to move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach to salary reviews, offering valuable perspectives on balancing fairness, rewarding performance, and protecting the long-term sustainability of your business. Topics Covered Salary Reviews – Why annual pay rises shouldn’t be automatic and how to approach them strategically. Business Sustainability – Understanding what your business can realistically afford before making remuneration decisions. Performance-Based Pay – Recognising and rewarding high performers without treating every employee the same. Financial Planning – Using data, forecasting, and business metrics to make confident pay decisions. P.S. If this episode is hitting on pain points you’re facing, let’s chat. We can support you.
