What Is a Salary Survey?
Salary surveys are the results of various questionnaires gathered from numerous employers on the mean or median salary for a specific job title. Compensation professionals use these surveys to plan competitive pay for employees at a particular organization. Surveys often ask about other compensation besides base salary, including incentive or variable pay, and gather data related to geographic location, employer size, job titles, and/or industries. Salary surveys may be conducted by employers, associations, or survey vendors.

Why Should I Use a Salary Survey?
Legal Compliance

Salary surveys allow organizations to regulate their compensation standards. Salary surveys consider things like industry, size, and location to create a more accurate source of compensation than the web.

Competitive Compensation

Salary surveys also help you stay competitive with your total compensation packages. Third-party salary surveys break down total compensation and have lists of participating companies to ensure accuracy in your industry.

Increased Employee Retention

A good salary survey will allow companies to accurately price their jobs and decrease the risk of possibly underpricing their employees. Turnover rates can cost as much as 60% of a former employee’s salary. Staying up to date with market pricing will ensure employees are being paid fairly and lower the risk of employee turnover.

Dependable Data

Good salary survey data is heavily vetted to ensure it is accurate. Our salary surveys are reviewed by a team of Ph.D. statisticians to ensure that our surveys have quality and consistent data.
