To attract the top talent in the agriculture industry, it is critical to know how you measure up against employers competing for that same talent. Western Growers is offering members an important tool to help recruit and retain outstanding employees, make key budgeting decisions and plan a competitive total rewards strategy.
Western Growers 2018 Professional Compensation and HR Practices Survey collects data to provide members with crucial information needed to keep compensation competitive—and your participation this year is needed! Every WG member who participates in the surveys will receive these valuable results at no cost (a $2,000 value). Your participation also qualifies you for a chance to win an Apple MacBook Air.
This year's survey will include:
This is the only compensation survey specific to the California and Arizona specialty crop industry. Participate in this year’s survey by April 16, 2018, for free access to the results report. (The previous deadline was March 31, 2018.)
How the Surveys Works
Each year, Western Growers collects data in two surveys: the Professional Compensation Survey and the HR Practices Survey.
Professional Compensation Survey: collects base pay and variable (bonus) salary data for professional positions in the specialty crop industry. We use an independent, certified compensation specialist to protect the confidentiality of your data.
HR Practices Survey: collects information for performance appraisals, merit increases/merit budgets, bonus/incentive programs, austerity programs, health plan offerings, paid time off and more.
