Oftentimes more a Census than a Survey

Founded nearly 20 years ago as an outsource of salary survey analyses, ERI has evolved into a geographic- and industry-specific salary survey, cost-of -living, and executive compensation benchmark survey firm dedicated to research and development. ERI researchers collect skill measures of modern-day work, and assist organizations with their compensation planning via salary software and special reports. Traditional salary surveys sometimes reflect non-random samples; but ERI's databases have grown so robust, many ERI products can be better characterized as a census. (Our focus is data; we do not provide fee-for-service consulting.)

R&D initiatives (in addition to our current ERI Products) include: developing 78 ERI Salary Survey industry salary surveys, unique combinations of executive and salaried positions by function or industry, offering 53 FREE one-hour compensation courses for those new to the tradecraft, saving the abandoned US Dictionary of Occupational Titles, web service earnings verifications of loan and employment applicants, developing UK and EU remuneration survey software (mirroring present Canada and US editions), digitizing Canada/UK/EU executive compensation data, supporting college instructors with free materials, demographics and labor cost modeling for plant relocations and OFCCP & EEO-1 reporting, and maintaining a library of modern-day skills for talent management.

Subscribers rely on ERI compensation reports and software databases to analyze salary ranges, set competitive pay in the United States, Canada, and Europe, research salary survey and geographic pay data, establish cost-of-living differentials for employee relocation allowances, determine merit increases, prepare CEO and other executive compensation reports, and capture organization competencies.

ERI products include the Salary Survey Assessor, Geographic Assessor, Relocation Assessor, Executive Compensation Survey Assessor, Nonprofit Comparables Assessor & Tax-Exempt Survey, Occupational Assessor software, and the Geographic Reference Report.
