We offer a suite of salary surveys and benchmarking options to suit organization size, needs, and budget.

Our pay scale and salary data has enabled companies – from large corporates to SMEs – to accurately fine-tune, measure and assess salaries and wages across multiple industries and countries.

What is the value of
participating in a survey?

Company strategy and company performance are driven by individuals.

Good HR and Remuneration structures and practices – founded on accurate, reliable benchmarks, will engage individuals – encouraging performance that will drive your company’s strategy.

A survey will give you access to market data so that you can accurately benchmark the remuneration for the same/similar/equal value jobs against that of other companies, entities or organisations. This is the cornerstone of building your own unique pay scale.

• Who are my comparators, for both general skills and those that are critical to the survival of my organisation?
• Am I being offered a comprehensive overview of both fixed and variable remuneration?
• What are the benefit practices of leading organisations in the market?
• What are the latest trends?
• Is there a robust sample of participants?

Why use an audited survey?

An audited survey paints an accurate picture of the current remuneration environment. Our national salary survey, RewardOnline, is audited annually by SNG Grant Thornton and has had a clean audit record since 2011.

Why use a third party?

Using a third party adds credibility to the survey. Information is more easily obtained from targeted companies when an independent party collects data.

Our web-based national salary survey is one of the largest most reputable salary surveys in Africa, and is audited annually for accuracy.

In addition, we have developed a dynamic approach to remuneration and pay solutions in developing economies that is tailored to each country, taking into account their unique economic and social climates. This referenced data is available for more than 20 other African and Asian countries.

Compare your pay practices to those in the market by benchmarking all the elements of remuneration (both fixed and variable) for unique roles based on your specific company metrics.

• Individual benchmarks are helpful for very specific roles that need to be carefully defined and matched in the market. An individual benchmark also enables you to request specific information, such as market data for short-term and long-term incentive practices and values.
• Executive benchmarks differ – depending on the size and complexity of the organisation and the role – and it is important to define these parameters to ensure an accurate benchmark.
• Trustee benchmarks ensure that you are able to attract key candidates and create a defensible trustee remuneration structure. The remuneration levels of the members of the Board of Trustees are based on the size of each non-executive’s position, and their responsibilities.

A niche survey offers focused, tailor-made results, as specific comparator groups (industries, sectors, job families and other factors) can be targeted. We run about 30 niche surveys annually.

Customised Surveys

An agreed comparator group is invited to participate and the survey is completely customised to your requirements. The survey could include benchmarking of remuneration and incentive practices as well as broader reward issues as dictated by the client.

For clients who may want a unique industry view. Organisations within the industry are invited to participate, and the cost of the survey is shared between participants.
