Organizations will generally have two or three sources of executive and top management compensation benchmarking data to ensure compensation is NOT a reason for turnover at the c-suite and top talent levels. Compiling and analyzing executive compensation data can be a daunting task especially since the regulatory frameworks for c-suite jobs in some countries vary (e.g. voluntary vs mandatory disclosure; or aggregated vs incumbent-level disclosures). For top management positions, the scope dimensions of the jobs like P&L responsibility, geography, and targeted niche business are required criteria which may not be available in most compensation solutions.
ERI Economic Research Institute’s cloud-based Assessor Series provides compensation analytics for US, Canada and 11 European countries (e.g. Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden) that cover c-suite and top management jobs. In order to derive a reasonable compensation estimate first an appropriate benchmark job must be identified. With a few clicks in ERI’s cloud based Assessors, applying a semantic search and then reviewing detailed job description content, the user can select an appropriate job match with a high degree of confidence.
