Pittsburgh Technology Council Commences Workforce Compensation Survey

The Pittsburgh Technology Council is pleased to put forth a full Compensation and Benefits Survey focused on Western Pennsylvania. We have partnered with the Compensation Consulting Consortium, LLC – “3C,” a compensation consulting firm to conduct this year’s survey.

The 2021 Western Pennsylvania Annual Compensation and Benefits Survey is intended to identify trends and practices related to cash compensation, benefit programs and other human resource policies of companies located within the following 13-counties of southwestern Pennsylvania: Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Bedford, Butler, Cambria, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Westmoreland, Lawrence, Somerset, and
Washington.

This goal of this survey focuses on base salary and bonus/incentive practices applicable to 130+ key jobs, general pay administration policies, benefit program design features and other human resource policies applicable to the companies’ broad-based work force located within southwestern Pennsylvania.

If you are not familiar with the work done by the team at the 3C, it is exemplary.
