2011 Compensation & Benefits Survey
Thanks to 431 participating nonprofits, reporting on over 23,000 jobs, the recently published 2011 survey is the biggest and most robust in its 33-year history! Fair Pay for Northern California Nonprofits: The 2011 Compensation and Benefits Survey will help your organization: - Set fair salaries and benefits to attract and retain the best employees
- Evaluate industry standards for compensation for a range of positions
- Budget and plan for the cost of adding new staff members
- Analyze your own jobs and compensation
- Stand up to the scrutiny of an increasingly skeptical public
- Compare your salaries and benefits with others in your community, not with organizations totally out of your local economic market.
And if that's not enough incentive for you, consider this: The survey also helps your agency find out how the local nonprofit community is coping with the recession. Here are some questions the survey can help nonprofit managers answer: - How do the salaries paid at our organization compare with those paid at similar, local organizations?
- Are organizations still freezing salary levels, or are more planning to increase salaries during the next year?
- How common are bonuses or incentive pay for jobs like ours?
- Are organizations shifting benefits costs to employees?
- How do pay levels for male and female Executive Directors compare?
NAMC members can request a free online copy of the report by emailing sue@alliancemonterey.org. Nonmembers, can purchase by clicking on www.nonprofitcomp.com, email Nonprofit Compensation Associates, the publishers of the survey, at survey@nonprofitcomp.com or call them at (510) 645-1005. |
