The Institutional Advancement & Alumni Relations (IAAR) Survey
Compensation benchmarking starts here
Are you compensation decision-maker for your institution’s Alumni relations, advancement department or foundation?
Do you struggle with issues of transparency and pay equity in your organization, or find there is a lack of competitive salary data available to benchmark what you pay your employees?
Do you worry about your ability to attract and retain talent?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, our IAAR survey may be the solution to your compensation benchmarking needs.
Your secret weapon for talent retention
Stop relying on broad averages. The IARR Survey provides the granular insights necessary to build a transparent, equitable compensation strategy.
Why choose our survey?
-
Individual-Level Accuracy: By collecting data on every person in a position rather than an “average of all,” we eliminate the skew and give you a true market picture.
-
Role-Based Benchmarking: Titles can vary. We match positions based on what people actually do.
-
Industry-Specific: Designed by and for university foundations to ensure your pay ranges are competitive with your true peers.
The IAAR survey has provided our organization with insightful benchmarks on compensation in our industry. We have developed a more thoughtful approach to our compensation practices and philosophy, which has, in turn, benefited our employees.
Participating in the survey has become a standard in our organization, and we look forward to continued participation.
