Find Out How Your Employee Compensation Compares with the Benchmark Survey
Find Out How Your Employee Compensation Compares by Participating in the Farm Employee Compensation Benchmark Survey
Would you like to know more about farm worker compensation trends? Do you want to compare and manage your compensation strategy with accurate, up-to-date, and relevant information? Then participate in the Farm Employee Compensation Benchmark survey!
By participating in the survey you can find out how your employee compensation compares to benchmark data in your farm industry and across the state.
How can you participate?
1. Gather information about one or a few of your workers for the year 2017. How much did you pay them: wages, bonus/incentive, benefits? And how many hours did they work?
2. Log into this website: https://cornell.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_d6h8UvVmdm9zsOx
3. Enter another employee by simply clicking the link in Step 2 again. If you have different types of employees such as front line, middle, and senior managers, add a few representative employees to the benchmark.
4. That's all, you're done. Just look for the summary report from Richard Stup in your email.
What do you get for this?
- Every person who submits at least one usable survey will get a summary and analysis of the benchmark data in a written report.
- Additionally, you can request a "My Employee" report to compare one or more of your employees to relevant peers in the benchmark. Just ask Richard to provide you with the "My Employee" report.
For any questions, contact: Richard Stup, Ph.D., Cornell Agricultural Workforce Specialist by email at rstup@cornell.edu, or by telephone at (607) 255-7890.
