The Wage & Benefits Survey is Back – And It’s Better Than Ever!
*Open to PRINTER MEMBERS only*
PIA is excited to announce the release of our PIA-members-only Wage & Benefits Survey. While the data collected by this regional survey will be similar to what was collected in the national survey that PIA previously participated in, we’ve made some significant improvements.
Here’s what you need to know…
Why should we participate?
Participating in the Wage & Benefits Survey is the only way to gain access to the survey data, an invaluable source of intelligence and insight that can help you ensure your business is competitive in your marketplace. This will be Graphic Communications industry-specific data that is:
· Continuously updated, with real-time reporting
· Downloadable in Excel or csv format, so that you can manipulate the data to suit your company’s specific information needs (a HUGE improvement over a static PDF!)
· Available by region (California, Northwest states, Southwest states) as well as for the Association as a whole
In many ways, the Wage & Benefits Survey data can be your “secret weapon” in hiring and retaining the workforce you need.
Who can participate?
The survey is open to all PIA members in good standing that are not suppliers or vendors (i.e., all PIA member types other than Associate). There is no charge to participate in the survey and receive the data, which will not be available for purchase by non-participants.
How do we participate?
Simply create an account at www.wbsurvey.org and then fill out the survey, entering data based on your company’s wages and policies as of your data entry date.
Our initial Annual Survey Period will run from now until September 30, 2024. Please plan to complete the survey by September 30. After that you are encouraged to update your data as a standard step in the hiring process and when making periodic compensation adjustments. In this way, data will always be as current as possible.
What type of data will the survey cover?
· Wages by job title
· Shift differentials
· Overtime policies
· Incentives based on productivity, sales or other metrics
· Holiday, PTO and bereavement pay policies
· Medical insurance details, including plans, deductibles and cost sharing
· Retirement or profit-sharing plans
· Absence data
· Employee turnover data
When will we get the survey report?
Instead of a static survey report, you will have continuous, 24/7 access to continuously updated data, which can be downloaded and manipulated to meet your needs. The initial data will be released in November 2024. The survey has never been done this way before, and we believe this feature will make the data even more useful for you.
