Compensation & Benefits Study

What It Is, and Why It's Important

The Compensation & Benefits Benchmarking Study is an online benchmarking platform that is the only one of its kind in animal welfare. This comprehensive resource provides on-demand insights related to compensation and benefits across nearly 80 animal welfare job descriptions, representing organizations across the United States, Canada and beyond.

With current staffing shortages, and a shared vision to create a more equitable and just industry, the 2023 Compensation & Benefits Study can help solve these challenges:

  • How do the salaries and benefits my organization offers compare to others in the state, region, and nationwide?
  • How can we recruit and retain diverse talent?
  • We’re creating new positions. How do we ensure our salaries are equitable and competitive?
