Housing Associations Salary Survey

SERVICE OVERVIEW

Paydata conducts a specialist Salary Survey customised specifically for Housing Associations. Providing companies with valuable, accurate and specific external market information to inform reward decisions, much of which is not available anywhere else.

What is the Housing Associations Salary Survey?

The Pay and Benefits Survey for Housing Associations has been established to provide employers with invaluable market intelligence. It has been specifically designed in partnership with Housing Associations to fill the gaps in benchmarking data, particularly in relation to specialist roles, which exist in current sector survey sources.

Available only to participants, the salary survey covers information regarding base pay and total cash, plus hours and benefits. The detailed report output is personalised, highlighting the employer's market position for each survey role nationally and by geographic region.

Of course, how much you choose to pay your executives is a management decision. You’ll also want to consider factors such as personal contribution and experience. But our thorough approach to benchmarking executive pay will ensure that the rewards for your top team are appropriately matched to the demands of their roles and the wider market.
