NOTES ON SALARY SURVEY METHODS APEGA engaged the services of Aon Hewitt to administer and conduct the 2015 Value of Professional Services salary survey. Invitations to participate in the survey were distributed to APEGA Permit Holders in May. Results were gathered and compiled by Aon Hewitt in June and July. A survey was completed by each participating Permit Holder’s human resources department or other applicable department. The sources of all data are anonymous.
For good reason, the Value of Professional Services is one of APEGA’s most highly sought-after publications. It provides APEGA Members — individual and corporate — with unbiased salary and benefits comparisons across a wide range of industries in Alberta. APEGA encourages the use of this resource, and any others at your disposal, to ensure fair compensation for individual practitioners and to help employers stay competitive in the labour market. We are particularly pleased with the level of participation, this year. Again we engaged the services of Aon Hewitt to administer and conduct the salary and benefits survey, and again we contacted Permit Holders to encourage participation. Aon Hewitt also compiled the data for publication of the Value of Professional Services (known informally as the APEGA salary survey). This year, 156 organizations participated. That’s up 75 per cent from 2014, when 89 employers took part. Individual data points are up as well. The report encompasses 13,464 data points in 2015, compared with 10,996 in 2014. APEGA’s 10 regional branches and Alberta’s major industry sectors are represented. We know from experience how popular and useful the Value of Professional Services is, and we appreciate the effort Permit Holders make each spring to complete the survey. Without your help, this service to Members would not be possible. Please feel free to contact us with your comments.
