AE Management & Staff Compensation Benchmark Model-1Whether your team is in one office or spread out across the globe, you need a data-driven and defensible strategy to be sure your compensation structure is effective, fair, and reasonable.

When compensation gets bloated, your cash flow and profits suffer…and disruptive layoffs become the only fix. But when you underpay, you risk that “do you have a minute?” meeting where one of your top performers breaks the news she is leaving.

Regular compensation benchmarking is the “ounce of prevention” that is far more cost effective than a “pound of cure”. But using low-quality data leads to low-quality decisions and that causes irreparable damage to your firm. So how do you get the highest quality benchmarking data available?

Only PSMJ's benchmarking data is:

1.    Vetted. Our data is gathered through an in-depth survey that is scrubbed against a series of error traps and reviewed from multiple angles for reasonableness.

2.    Unbiased. Our data is provided by employers rather than employees. That means a higher degree of confidence that the salaries are current and accurate…not over- or under-stated to support an ulterior motive.

3.    Comprehensive. Our data is way more than just simple salaries. This model digs deep into cash and non-cash components to give you the full picture.

Don’t go another day wondering if you got compensation benchmarking right in your A/E firm. With this data at your side, you get confidence and peace-of-mind that you can’t get anywhere else.
