Arras People (you know them, the
How to Manage a Camel people) are running their Benchmark Report survey again – for the 5th year. It covers the UK Project Management Industry in areas such as salaries, rates, gender, current climate, specific project management areas like professional bodies, competency and the outlook for 2010. If you are feeling gloomy about going into the New Year, this is the place to have your say.
The survey is UK-specific, so if you are based here please take part in the study. The aim this year is to increase the number of participants and to gain a more detailed study across the sectors where people are working within project management. The full results will be set out in a report next month, so you haven’t got long to get involved. The report is free – and you don’t get much for free these days.
They survey doesn’t take long to complete, and it covers the current issues and hot topics within the PPM field along with the usual data points on salaries, remuneration and day rates so that we can add to the databank and provide comparisons to last year and predictions for 2010.
Last year the study presented some really interesting findings that reflected a rather negative approach to the prevailing economic difficulties. For example, Public sector employees were better protected than private sector employees. Twice as many private sector employees and 5% more contractors expected rewards to fall in 2009. Did they actually fall? We’ll have to wait until the salary and benefits numbers are in for this year.
