PricewaterhouseCoopers has a Global Human Resource Services group with approximately
6,000 practitioners who work with companies in aligning a company’s HR
strategy with their overall business performance by managing the operational
and compliance challenges associated with human resources. We work closely with
clients to offer multi-disciplinary solutions that strive to make their people
a sustainable source of competitive advantage.
Uganda has a team of human resource specialists who in conjunction with the
regional and global network of PricewaterhouseCoopers provide unparalleled advice
in human resource management issues.
Our advice covers several areas as follows:
Total Compensation Services - Providing Design and Implementation Support
for Compensation Strategies
Companies must balance many trade-offs when creating and managing a total compensation
program. Employees demand to be compensated competitively. Management needs
compensation strategies that support strategic objectives, and aid in recruitment,
motivation, and retention of top talent. On top of it all, the regulatory environment
surrounding total compensation programs is rapidly changing. Whether your business
operates in a single country or many countries, PricewaterhouseCoopers, with
our international reach, is uniquely positioned to work with you to develop
competitive, effective total reward programs on a local and international basis.
On top of carrying out commissioned reward surveys, job evaluation using the
widely used Paterson system and the designing of reward structures based on
global best practice, we also run a HR Survey Club comprising of 25 companies
that are all leading employers in the oil, financial services, telecommunications
and manufacturing sectors of the country. From this annual survey of the 25
club members, PricewaterhouseCoopers produces a report covering current market
compensation levels as well as practices. This report also forms what is the
most comprehensive database of market remuneration levels in Uganda currently.
Executive Search and Selection
At PricewaterhouseCoopers, we believe that recruitment and retention of the
right staff is a crucial investment that every firm must make in order to achieve
or retain market leadership within the ever-changing and highly competitive
environment in which we operate. Selecting staff and matching, skills and knowledge
to meet organisational cultures and goals has become highly skilled and specialized,
and requires expert support with the additional benefit of saving management
time.
Our Executive Search and Selection (ESS) team is made up of highly experienced
recruitment professionals, many of whom have in-depth knowledge and diverse
expertise.
The range of services that the ESS function provides include:
Executive Search: A full executive placement service where focus is on research
and intense searching of our executive selection database to match appropriate
candidates with the client(s) profile. In this approach we also draw on an established
high level network of contacts and sources
Executive Selection: Candidates are generated from a carefully
targeted advertising strategy that may include both local and international
media and a variety of web sites.

the best aspects of Executive Search and Executive Selection where we supplement

and success in identifying the right candidates. We draw on tools, methodologies
and experience of our global network and are dedicated to sharing our knowledge
and experience to provide best practice solutions.
Our commitment to excellence and confidentiality has contributed to the establishment
of long-term relationships with our clients across all industry sectors including

and communication technology, consumer and industrial products and others. Our

Health Checks
A health check is an audit of existing practices and the identification of
limitations, opportunities and barriers. It is often a result of one of the
following triggers:
Mergers and acquisitions
- Benchmarking
- Due diligence
- Inequities, anomalies and low morale
- Alignment with new legislation
- Culture development
- High staff turnover
- Demotivated people
- Poor performance
Our Human resource services team is well equipped with the skills that are
required to carry out health checks and make recommendations on what the organisation
needs to do for purposes of optimizing its human resource potential.
Organisation design and restructuring
In conjunction with our regional and global resources, PricewaterhouseCoopers
Uganda has a team of specialists in organisation design and restructuring who
provide the required advice as companies go about restructuring their operations
in a bid to optimize their human resource potential.
