Comp. Survey

Preparations Are Underway for our 2024 Survey!
 

The HR Alliance DC Compensation Survey & Trend Report, entering into its 36th year, can help you attract and retain the DC-metro area’s top talent, while helping your organization continuously improve its compensation practices and talent management strategies.  It is one of the most comprehensive sources of information on salaries, incentive pay, and compensation practices in the DC Metro region.

In 2023, we compiled data on over 400 positions across over 75 job families covering over 62,000 incumbents in the Greater Washington, DC metro area.

Here is a sample of the findings:

  • DC area turnover was slightly higher than the average for the entire US.
  • The survey saw an increase in investment in Talent Acquisition, with over 55% of organizations reporting it as their top area of investment for their Human Resources Departments.
  • This year companies have reported that 46% of their employees are able to work remotely


The launch for our 2024 survey will occur on April 1st.  Our Compensation Survey Committee is busy making plans for the launch.  If you are interested in participating in the 2024 compensation survey and did not participate last year, please contact staff@hralliancedc.org so we can ensure that you receive submission materials from our survey partner, Pearl Meyer.
