★★★★★ ConsultingCritical Help for a Modern Compensation Structure“David Turetsky and Angela Bailey (HR Data Labs) helped us build a compensation program grounded in solid market pricing and supported by well-designed salary structures that work for our organization. They also made sure our employees understood the changes through clear, thoughtful communications. The entire process was smooth, and the results spoke for themselves."
★★★★★ ConsultingCompensation Resource for a Fast Moving Time“David Turetsky (HR Data Labs) took the time to truly understand our needs before diving in, building a customized project plan that kept us aligned every step of the way. Their work across market pricing, salary structures, and job evaluation gave us a clear, defensible framework for how we pay and value our people. The recommendations they delivered were practical, well-supported, and built to last beyond the engagement. We came away with the tools and knowledge to sustain the work on our own."
★★★★★ ConsultingSpringboard to greater things“David Turetsky (HR Data Labs) helped us build a compensation program we can stand behind, starting with a clear compensation philosophy and grounding everything in solid market pricing. The compensation program design they delivered gave us a structured, consistent approach to how we pay and value our people. We finally have a framework that reflects who we are and where we are headed.
Because of your help we were able roll out our first every company wide performance management review process and annual compensation event. This was really some foundational work that was a springboard for much greater things for WM."
★★★★★ ConsultingExecutive Compensation Expertise Appreciated"Your Executive Compensation study was very helpful — it gave the Board a perspective that had been lacking in two previous attempts with other firms to truly understand where we stood in comparison with similar organizations.
Your work on a sensitive underpayment issue was nothing short of a lifesaver. You understood that we were looking for objective advice on whether there had been inadvertent, systematic underpayment, and your conclusion — delivered in a 20-minute Board presentation — carried the day, including convincing board members who had initially thought there might be merit to the claim.
I would highly recommend Angie as an Executive Compensation consultant. She was thoughtful, courteous, studious of the facts, logical, and empathetic to our situation. Not much more we could ask for!"

Founder & Managing Consultant · Host, HR Data Labs Podcast
David Turetsky built HR Data Labs from a singular insight: that most organizations are making their most important people decisions with incomplete, misunderstood, or absent data.
After decades at ADP DataCloud — where he pioneered people analytics at scale — David assembled a consulting team with roots in Watson-Wyatt, Towers Perrin, and the largest HR technology companies in the world. The result: compensation expertise that Fortune 500 companies take for granted, finally accessible to the organizations that need it most.
The podcast, the graphic novels, the SaaS tools — every piece of HR Data Labs exists to close the gap between where HR is and where it needs to be.
