Don't Miss Out on the 2015 MBI Wage and Benefits Report

All MBI members who participate in the 2015 MBI Wage and Benefits Survey will receive a report of the compiled comprehensive information. The opportunity to obtain this information is only available every two years and is ONLY available to the participating companies.

 

MBI has been providing this valuable service to our members since the mid-80s, and has once again retained the services of the HR consulting group Verisight to gather the wage data information.  

 

Important Information:

  • The survey was emailed to MBI member representatives on May 12, 2015 by Verisight
  • Only those that participate will be given the results
  • Information gathered is strictly confidential and only seen by Verisight

Please take time to participate!  If you have not yet seen the survey and would like to be sent a copy, please email Laurie Delmott with your request - ldelmott@mbionline.com. Thank you!
