The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and will close in mid-July. All survey responses are confidential and reported only in aggregate form.
Here’s what we learned from participating employers last year:
- Compensation: 80% aim to offer competitive pay, yet many do not benchmark regularly
- Remote/Hybrid Work: 88% have formalized their long-term approach to remote and hybrid work
- Employee Benefits: Traditional benefits remain common, and offerings like wellness are less prevalent
- Artificial Intelligence: Adoption is increasing faster than governance, training, and policy development
- Employee Retention: Development and well-being continue to be strong drivers of retention
