Discover plans and implications for reward in 2026 at IDR's upcoming annual conference this September. Gain valuable insights from the results of IDR's survey of pay planning and reward intentions for the year ahead.
Our pay planning survey aims to examine the influences on the pay decisions that organisations are making for 2026 as well as providing insights into the forces shaping reward outcomes over the coming year and beyond.
In this issue we take a detailed look at April pay awards, alongside an assessment of the outlook for inflation. Feature articles include findings from our survey of hybrid working and analysis of pay rates across the lower-paying areas of the economy. Don’t miss out…
Our research covers pay, benefits, reward practice and HR policy. We provide HR professionals with information, data, analysis and tools to help them make intelligent reward decisions.
In 2014 we identified a gap in the market for independent research on pay and reward and IDR is committed to filling that gap. Since then, we have delivered work for a wide range of clients and have a steadily growing subscriber base.
Pay Benchmarker will help you to ensure you are paying the right level of salary necessary to recruit, retain and motivate staff in your sector and region. It brings together all of the data collected by IDR with user-friendly functionality.
Pay Climate provides the latest picture on pay awards across all sectors of the economy to enable pay practitioners to accurately assess the current climate on pay. Gain our insights on the key trends and developments in pay.
Keep up to date with company news, press releases, events articles and upcoming conferences from IDR.
We will be in touch soon.
