Compensation & Salary Surveys

Custom benchmarking for organizations that don't fit a template

Off-the-shelf salary data rarely lines up with non-profits, municipalities, First Nations governments, or specialty firms. We build the comparison set you actually need.

Salary comparisons involve assessing compensation between comparable positions within and outside your organization. A good salary comparison will include a review of the base salary alongside other aspects of the total compensation package like bonuses, benefits, and additional incentives.

Regular salary comparisons help organizations stay competitive and maintain internal equity. Compensation is one of the main drivers in successful employee recruitment, engagement, and retention, so it is important to get it right.

CG Hylton has conducted salary comparisons for decades. Our surveys and comparisons incorporate data from multiple sources, considering geographic location, industry and organization type, and company size. Our analysis examines job titles, duties, education and experience requirements, and skill levels.

We provide comprehensive reports outlining organizational strengths and improvement areas. Our ultimate goal is to show you how to use this information to make choices that positively impact employee happiness, engagement, retention, and productivity.

What's included

What we look at

  • Total compensation, not just base salary

    Salary alongside bonuses, benefits, and incentive structures, giving you a complete picture of where you stand in your market.

  • Peer group definition

    Geographic location, industry, org type, and size all go into building a comparison set that's actually comparable to you.

  • Role-by-role job analysis

    Titles, duties, education, experience, and skills, so the comparison aligns role to role rather than just title to title.
