How To Get Access To TRS Results?

To maintain a thorough and robust database that accurately reflects current compensation trends in the market, organizations are asked to provide their remuneration data and in return they receive a preferential price (or participant price) for the TRS results, which is significantly lower than the non-participant price. 

Survey results may be purchased by organizations that do not submit data to the survey as well. The non-participant price will apply.

What Do You Need To Be Considered A Participant?

To continue producing a survey with high quality data, participating organizations are expected to:

Submit data according to the survey schedule Provide information for all compensation items collected (i.e.Base Salary, Guaranteed Payments, Short-Term Incentives, Long-Term Incentives and Benefits) Report all policies applicable to the incumbents included in the survey. Report a representative sample of the jobs in the organization, which means providing: (i) Jobs in all families (ii) Jobs in all levels of the organization (from Executive to Para-professional levels).

Respond to all the questions included in the Data Collection Kit (DCK) Provide a good job match for the jobs submitted to the survey (when there is at least an 80% match between the organization’s job vs. the benchmark job description) Report remuneration information by incumbent (not averages, midpoints, highs/lows, etc.)

Pricing Options

Pricing varies by country and by an organization’s participation status (did or did not submit data for the survey). View available countries and pricing.
