Leading Corporate Compensation & Benefits Research to Unveil Current Workforce Trends
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) May 02, 2016 -- The 2016 People Report™ Corporate Compensation and Benefits Survey (CCBS) has been launched by TDn2K™. This annual survey reveals decisive information about competitive compensation and how restaurant companies can craft attractive benefit packages in order to improve recruiting and retention
“The labor market for professional workers as well as operations managers has tightened significantly since last year," said Joni Thomas Doolin, CEO of TDn2K. "We are already observing shifts in hiring practices, as time to fill open positions and vacancy rates are steadily increasing. It is crucial that top performing companies obtain the competitive benchmarks and best practices reported in CCBS.”
The objective of this research is answering key questions for leaders in the restaurant industry regarding the latest trends in employee compensation and rewards practices. The CCBS is available for participation now. The survey is open to all chain restaurant companies and there is no fee to participate. Participating People Report members receive a complimentary copy of the results*.
“Our research has shown that pay and benefits can be and are often tied to employee retention and key business metrics like sales and traffic growth. Knowing what the market is saying regarding those rewards practices is crucial for high-performing organizations when setting and evaluating their rewards strategies. CCBS is designed to deliver that key market knowledge,” said Victor Fernandez, Executive Director of Insights at TDn2K.
