Commitment to Quality

Providing participants with the highest quality compensation information is a key objective of the Survey Team. To ensure we meet this objective, we have implemented a rigorous quality assurance process, which includes:   

  • A dedicated Survey Account Manager to answer your questions.
  • Review of participant input using a series of statistical quality assurance programs which analyze survey data that feeds this tool.
  • Quality Assurance Reports generated based on survey submissions, reviewed between the Survey Account Manager and participants to resolve any data submission issues.

Maintaining Confidentiality

  • All data is reported in summary form only.
  • No organization's data will represent more than a 25% weighting for any datapoint.
  • No data is reported for any datapoint where fewer than five organizations contribute to the underlying data.
