Know the Difference with SIRS®
SIRS® has been a uniquely reliable source of compensation data, tools, and advice for more than 40 years. SIRS® surveys can make a real difference in your compensation programs because we adhere to a few simple beliefs.
There is no substitute for comparing apples to apples.
SIRS® is built upon a valid, logical benchmarking system that will help you make comparisons that are more meaningful for your company regardless of organizational structure.
SIRS® reports exclude your own company data, allow you to choose a custom market mix, and cover many benchmarks and types of data not included in public filings.
Global benchmarks make a difference.
The SIRS® benchmark structure is applied consistently across all SIRS® surveys. It covers all jobs from entry-level to executive, and spans geographies across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East.
This consistent, global structure takes the guesswork out of matching your jobs to survey benchmarks, and makes it easier to participate in multiple SIRS® surveys. In this catalog, you will find the list of benchmark families and subfamilies covered by each survey, enabling you to choose the surveys that will provide exactly the data you need.
Compensation intelligence is created by people, not printouts.
SIRS® participants get more than just a report or access to numbers. Each participating organization is assigned a consultant who has compensation expertise, industry knowledge, and who takes the time to get to know the organization and its needs. SIRS® professionals provide assistance, guidance, and insight every step of the way, from submitting data through selecting reports. Additional consulting services can help you analyze your data, your organizational structure, and your staffing more closely to pinpoint the issues and opportunities.
Better information leads to better decisions.
