Tennessee State/Regional Salary, Wage & Benefits Surveys:
Get High-Quality Regional Wage & Benefit Information at No Charge

---

It's certainly not business as usual this year! Whether you've had a layoff or been fortunate enough to retain your workforce during these tough times, you still need to be alert to what the market relative to salaries, wages, and benefits.   As a Tennessee SHRM Chapter member you can participate in a new survey and receive regional data free of charge and we encourage you to take advantage of it.

The Tennessee State SHRM Council and its affiliated chapters have partnered with Effective Resources, Inc. to conduct a salary, wage and benefit survey for the State of Tennessee.  The survey will include East, Middle and West Tennessee regional surveys as well.  We're excited to be able to bring this opportunity to you!  Your participation will make this survey a useful tool for HR professionals, their companies, and the Tennessee business community.

Here's a brief overview of the program:
Complete the online questionnaire anytime during the month of August.  You will be able to save your data and return to it for review or editing as often as needed.  The compensation professionals at SalarySurveyOnline will proof, analyze, compile the data and publish the final surveys in September.  Participants pay nothing - zero - for online access to complete, accurate wage and benefits data specific to your region (East, Middle or West Tennessee).  Because you are a participating chapter member, you get online access to your region's results at no charge.

Detailed participation information will be provided in July for use in August.

To learn more about the survey in general, visit SalarySurveyOnline.com to view a sample survey and questionnaire.  We are pleased to bring you this opportunity and encourage everyone to participate.

If you have questions or would like to inquire about and/or sign up to participate in the 2009 survey, please contact:  Yvette Brooks at brooksy@methodisthealth.org.
