Seeking Free Resources for Conducting a Compensation Survey in a Small Company

Hi all,

We are a small software testing company. We will be having our annual appraisals this month.

In order to provide fair and competitive compensations, I wanted to conduct a market survey for compensation. Is there any website where I can find this kind of survey?

Management is not willing to spend on this task, so I will require something that is free of charge. Even a rough idea will help!

Seeking help from all you HR professionals!

Phew! Hewitt or Galop could have helped you out, but they don't do charity, alas! You need to rely on info provided by insiders.

Without investing in surveys, some quick but only indicative ways are:

1. Collate information from the interviews that you conduct.
2. Collect information from the recruiting firms that you utilize.
3. Collate information from people who have recently joined your organization regarding salaries in their previous organizations.

There will be inaccuracies, but trust me, even in the most organized surveys, there are inaccuracies as companies do not disclose everything.

Hi Vidya,

I'm doing a project on the water purifier industry as part of my curriculum. I've collected a bit of data. Would like to know if you could help me out.

Aditi

Hey Anchal,

I was able to open both files. Try saving the file first and then opening it.

Vidya!

Sure, Mr. M. Peer Mohamed Sardhar!

It started off rough but later on turned out to be really informative. :) Hey, I am not exaggerating but you were a real support. Thanks again.

Vidya!

Hi Vidya,

I've downloaded the Gallup and Hewitt surveys. What I'd like to know is if you have any data (salary or organizational structure) of any company in the insurance sector or water industry (Eureka Forbes, etc.).

Thank you,
Aditi

Hey Aditi, I do not have data from either of the industries you are seeking.

Regds,

Vidya
