Benchmarking Data for Health Care Organzations
As the health care industry continues to constantly adapt and transform in response to short- and long-term impacts, the role of the reform-era executive is now more complex and demanding than ever. Developing competitive compensation programs that attract, motivate and retain key executive talent is critical and remains a top priority for health care organizations nationwide. After more than 30 years, this survey continues to provide critical benchmarking data on executive compensation trends and pay practices and is the largest of its kind for health care organizations nationwide.
Enhanced Multiphase Auditing Process
Our participant experience includes an audit process that allows organizations to identify year-over-year discrepancies and areas of concern, contributes to the robustness and integrity of our data and provides greater confidence in report accuracy. If audits are needed, SullivanCotter emails participants when their audits are ready. After which, they may log in to their accounts to clarify and submit feedback via secure communication.
