Do the words “salary data” cause you to mumble bad words under your breath? Sifting through the large amount of currently available survey data can be a daunting task at best. Margaret Bentson, CCP, Principal Consultant with CompAnalysis, recently had her article “Getting the Biggest Bang for Your Survey Buck,” published in WorldatWork’s new book, Survey Best Practices.

- Which surveys to use
- How to use survey data effectively, including interpreting data and
methodologies for compiling and calculating data accurately - The do’s and don’ts of job matching
