IDR is an independent research organisation specialising in the pay and employment field

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.
