QUESTION:  What is different about ERI's data products than those provided by major consulting firms?

 

The Proxy Analyses feature of the Executive Compensation Assessor (XA) may quickly answer this question.  Open XA and go to the Survey & Proxy Analyses tab.  Initiate an analysis by selecting an industry, organization size (such as revenue or assets) and area.  Review the dots on the scatter diagram.  Place your cursor on a dot to see the actual company data.  Click on the dot to view the Summary Compensation Table for any year back to 1997.   To review, first hand, the considerable research that went into creating the geographic differentials, review the salary data for a small city in Wales, Wisconsin or Nova Scotia.  

 

ERI’s products are unique.  Whether it is ERI's Salary Increase Survey or any of the Assessor Series applications, we spend the time, resources and effort to conduct analyses that major firms don't fund or support.
