Our
Canadian Salary Surveys (IAT)® program is one of Canada's most comprehensive compensation surveys, and will be an essential tool in your Total Rewards strategy. We do more than just collect data for these surveys; we conduct extensive competitive, economic, and Total Rewards research to ensure that organizations are provided with the most market-accurate information possible.
An organization's most important and valuable asset is its employees. When it comes to attracting and retaining top talent, providing fair compensation is instrumental.
One tool that can help you create a competitive compensation package is a salary survey. There are several reasons why a salary survey is essential as you plan your recruitment and retention strategy

Ensures employees are fairly paid - A key factor for employees leaving an organization is that they can receive a better salary, bonus, paid time off, or other benefits at another organization. A salary survey can help mitigate that risk. |

Provides defensible data - Reputable survey vendors provide a clear, documented, and shareable methodology with proven processes employed to collect, validate, protect and report data. Additionally, participant lists for a salary survey should be analyzed in order to understand which organizations you are comparing against. All of this helps to establish credibility in your decision making in the boardroom and more importantly when communicating with employees. |
