By contributing data on pay awards or pay levels, organisations gain access to free summary data and a discount on IDR products and services. Participation offers employers valuable insights that will help inform their pay and reward strategies.
The latest issue of Pay Climate features articles on how the different measures of inflation are used to uprate prices for various services, disability pay gaps, and pay for engineering workers.
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.
