ERI publishes compensation and benefits survey reports for the United States and Canada. Numerous industry-specific and job function surveys are published annually with data from for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Participating organizations include national, regional, and local companies that vary in size from very small to extremely large in terms of revenue. Survey submissions are accepted online and via email. ERI Assessor Series subscribers that participate in a survey are eligible to receive that survey report for free.
