    Why did we create the compass salary market survey?

    Throughout MPS' 23+ years of operation, we’ve often observed that our partners’ compensation packages were not always competitive—this can hinder the recruitment of high-quality professionals and, in some cases, even contribute to high employee turnover. on the other hand, some clients proactively requested the compass salary market survey as part of their annual salary review process to ensure they remain competitive in comparison to their peers.

    Thanks to our team’s decades of experience, the compass salary market survey provides a comprehensive overview of the surrounding market landscape, salary ranges, and current national trends in compensation packages and benefits.

    The importance of salary market surveys

    Salary market surveys are essential tools for business leaders and hr professionals, helping them understand current wage levels, average salaries, and compensation expectations within a specific industry, region, or city.

    These surveys offer comprehensive and reliable data on compensation packages, enabling company leadership to make informed, data-driven decisions when planning salary adjustments.

    Market comparison and analysis of compensation strategies

    Salary market surveys are essential tools for business leaders and hr professionals to understand current salary levels, averages, and compensation expectations in a given industry, region, or city. these surveys are comprehensive and provide reliable data on compensation packages, allowing company leadership to make informed decisions when planning salary adjustments.

    Analysis of compensation packages

    Our surveys typically cover multiple components, analyzing market averages using various statistical indicators that make it easy to compare findings with internal compensation strategies. beyond base salaries, we also examine popular market bonuses and benefits, including performance-based bonuses and cafeteria packages.

    Benefits of salary market surveys

    Boosting employer competitiveness

    The greatest advantage of salary market surveys is that they help companies stay competitive as employers by providing insight into current market trends. They also contribute significantly to employee satisfaction and retention, as a competitive salary strategy reduces the likelihood of colleagues leaving for financial reasons.
    When partners share the survey results with employees, it empowers them to compare their compensation with that of other companies, reinforcing the perception that their pay is competitive and fair

    Understanding candidate expectations

    With our compass product, we go even further by collecting additional data for our clients. When needed, we also map out the specific expectations of potential candidates—such as company car eligibility, phone reimbursement, balance between commuting and remote work, or travel cost reimbursements. In some cases, factors like bonus frequency, conditions, and even stock option packages (for executives or advanced tech startups) may also play a role.

    Recommendations for company strategy development

    Upon request, we present the findings through a live presentation or leadership consultation, so decision-makers have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss insights. Along with the data, we include tailored recommendations on how to adjust internal processes and compensation strategies for better alignment with market standards.
