Regional compensation data for your critical jobs
Although salary increases may have slowed, given current conditions, evaluating your rewards strategy and comparing your pay levels to the market is still critical to ensuring that you are allocating resources appropriately. Understand local pay levels to secure the talent your organization needs in all markets across the country.
The Metropolitan Benchmark Survey portion of the US MBD: Mercer Benchmark Database contains data for more than 5,000 positions in 19 different job families from 3,270 organizations but is organized by region, allowing you to purchase just the data you need. This data will help you manage pay for those jobs that you hire locally or regionally, rather than nationally.
