Wayne County selects TrueComp’s real-time benchmarking to strengthen compensation decisions, improve workforce retention, and control labor costs

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – TrueComp, the leading provider of compensation and workforce planning solutions for the public sector, today announced that Wayne County, North Carolina has selected TrueComp’s Benchmarking solution to modernize its approach to compensation decisions and workforce planning. This marks TrueComp’s first customer in North Carolina, expanding the company’s growing national footprint and reinforcing its commitment to helping governments hire competitively, retain top talent, and negotiate with confidence.  

TrueComp’s Benchmarking software enables public sector leaders real-time access to verified salary, benefits, and special pay data, without the time and cost of traditional, often months-long compensation studies. The platform helps agencies identify pay gaps, reduce turnover risk, and make equity-driven adjustments faster and more transparently. Wayne County joins a growing roster of cities and counties nationwide using TrueComp to improve workforce stability and manage their largest expense—labor costs—with greater precision and accountability.  

The move comes as many governments nationwide are rethinking how they approach compensation and workforce strategy. According to the Public Sector HR Association, only 22% of agencies feel “very confident” their compensation benchmarks are both accurate and competitive. 

“This partnership reflects the momentum we’re seeing across the southeast and nationwide as agencies seek modern, accessible ways to understand their workforce costs and competitiveness,” said Ryan James, Chief Revenue Officer at TrueComp. “Wayne County’s leadership is taking a forward-looking approach to compensation by showing that with the right data, you can strengthen both your workforce and your community’s confidence in how decisions are made.” 

The win follows a period of strong growth and regional expansion for TrueComp. Earlier this year, the company announced a double-digit increase in average deal size and new partnerships with major agencies across Florida, California, and the Northeast. The addition of Wayne County marks a key step in TrueComp’s southeast expansion and underscores growing demand for real-time workforce analytics as governments prepare for challenges such as the “silver tsunami” of retirements, tight labor markets, and increased turnover.
