It provided independent, reliable data from both the charity and private sectors, allowing us to review our salary structures with confidence. The report enabled us to ensure that we are remunerating our team fairly and competitively and has been invaluable in ensuring that we are attracting and retaining great talent. Vicky was great to work with, she is approachable and offered informed advice.”

What does a Salary Survey Include?
Our salary surveys pull together market information for similar roles in comparable organisations to your own. Using data from our internal database, published salary data and sector reports we will share a detailed analysis of the median and upper quartile salaries for all job roles within the project scope. We will give you supporting information on how your salary compares to the market to enable you to make an informed decision on where to position and set your executive pay. We will also share insights on non-pay rewards that could help you transform your employee benefits package in the future.
