FAQs
What are the benefits of participating in the 2010 Executive Compensation Survey for Small and Mid-size Businesses?
This survey gives business owners and their HR teams the opportunity to compare their company's executive compensation and benefits plans to industry and the broader market.
Who is eligible to participate in this survey?
This survey is designed specifically for businesses with revenues up to $200 million. Larger companies can participate in other executive compensation surveys developed by D. G. McDermott Associates.
Who developed this survey?
D.G. McDermott Associates developed this survey in collaboration with the Rider University College of Business Administration.
Why is this survey different from other executive compensation surveys?
Small and mid-size businesses have not had sources of reliable, unbiased third-party data that can help them benchmark their executive pay and benefits plans against a broad cross section of similar companies. The McDermott-Rider Executive Compensation Survey is the first tailored for public and private middle-market companies. It offers confidential, real-world comparisons to other middle-market companies.

What data do I need to input to the survey?
