In this ever-changing business climate, reliable information to keep you competitive in today’s economy is a must. HEC has the expertise and necessary technical resources to conduct accurate and valuable compensation and benefits surveys, as well as supply insight into employee satisfaction. With few exceptions, participating firms pay no fees for survey reports.
Local and national compensation and benefits surveys provide data that HEC members can use to develop and administer compensation and benefit plans, and personnel policies. Custom cuts and comparison reports are available from our compensation surveys.
Personnel practices, industry specific and customized surveys can be conducted to provide specific data according to your specifications. As a third party, HEC is able to conduct and manage the survey process to reduce the risk of anti-trust concerns.
We also conduct employee opinion surveys to help you identify any gap between being an employer of choice and being merely an employer.

Successful organizations today know that understanding what their employees think is an important part of management’s responsibility. When employers survey their employees and take corrective action where appropriate, it benefits both employees and the organization. HEC assists members with customized employee opinion surveys or members may choose from existing questionnaire templates that can be compared to national norms. Costs are based on the amount of data to be collected and the complexity of the survey report.
