Learn More about Salary Surveys

In addition to our market-leading Computer Staff Salary Survey, we publish reports on everything from the distribution sector to food manufacturing, and from housing associations to engineering.

Our reports present full salary, bonus, commission and employee benefits data, analysed by region, industry, company size and turnover, and present breakdowns by seniority, job function and other factors. In addition, they provide full analysis of year-on-year pay trends.

By collecting anonymised payroll data on individual employees, we can analyse basic salary, bonus payments, shift payments and, where appropriate, key skills and professional qualifications. Our reports provide not just average or median salary figures, but quartiles and – for bigger surveys – deciles, allowing you to choose the appropriate benchmark based on your reward strategy.

Our dedicated salary survey team has considerable skill and expertise in data collection, analysis and reporting, and aims to provide a friendly, flexible service based on your needs.

When you subscribe to any of the XpertHR Salary Surveys you receive a suite of products and services that provide you with reliable salary data to support your decisions and recommendations, providing a cost-effective way to:

• Set, monitor and manage your organisation's reward strategy.

Participation is a key part of your subscription to XpertHR Salary Surveys. The more companies that participate the more useful the data is and by participating you enjoy significant added benefits such as matching search results against market norms.

Participating in an XpertHR Salary Survey does require some time and effort. However, the work involved is both reflected in the lower price charged to survey participants and rewarded by a far better and more powerful end product.

We aim to make participation as straightforward as possible. When you participate, we provide you with:

• A short questionnaire to supply information about your organisation.
• A standard spreadsheet for you to submit salary data for each employee. Participants match each post against standard criteria on job levels and job functions using our easy-to-follow guidance booklet. When you participate in subsequent surveys, we will send you your most recent data to update, saving you time and effort.

Support for companies taking part in the survey includes full written guidance and telephone help. Our Participation Manager is an HR professional with both generalist and pay and benefits experience who is happy to help with job matching and data submission processes.

XpertHR Job Pricing is a unique online job pricing tool which enables you to run bespoke queries to ensure that you have all the information you need to make informed decisions on pay. Your query can be refined by industry, company size, location (including inner and outer London), seniority, job function and other parameters, to allow you to pinpoint what you need.

Queries are easy to run and there is no limit on how many you can run within your subscription, ensuring that you always have easy access to the information you require. You can save queries that you use on a regular basis, cutting the time and effort to a minimum. There is no need to download any special software to use XpertHR Job Pricing. Once you have created the salary tables you want, you can turn them into charts at the touch of a button, and you can download both tables and charts in Excel for future use.

Subscribe and participate in XpertHR salary surveys and you will be able to see your organisation’s data in the tables you have created, enabling you to check pay levels against the market rate.
