Education Compensation Survey and Management Solutions
In today’s swiftly changing world, educational institutions are competing to attract students and faculty as well as a wealth of administrative and supportive positions. Payscale provides salary data for all kinds of jobs common to universities and other education-based businesses.
Compensation Challenges for Education
Following the pandemic, employees want to be able to work from home at least some of the time. Educational institutions are considering location-based pay strategies that can accommodate remote work.
After a rough few years with rising inflation and increased opportunity, the talent you are most anxious to keep is also the talent you are most likely to lose if your employees' pay doesn't keep pace with the market.
In a hot job market, opportunity is everywhere. Educational institutions need to offer more compelling salaries and total rewards packages to attract and retain the highly skilled talent they need to thrive.
Educational institutions are under increased scrutiny to ensure that commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is observable, consistent, and transparently communicated--starting with pay.
