With more than 940 000 and 20 000 Executive validated data points, we provide reliable and accurate market trends survey information to enable organisations to make informed remuneration decisions.

In addition to the REMchannel remuneration benchmarking offering, we also conduct research on a range of market benefits and HR trends at varying intervals; once a year, twice a year, or every second year.

Employee benefits survey

Every organisation aims to be an employer of choice, taking cognisance of employee wellbeing with a total reward approach that ensures the attraction, engagement and retention of key skills. The Employee Benefits Survey provides current research on statutory benefits and perks trends and practices in South Africa, including legal and tax compliance to ensure a competitive edge.

Non-executive director survey

This research covers a broad section of South African organisations, giving participants access to quality benchmark information. The research enables fair remuneration for Non-Executive Directors that is aligned with the scope and liabilities of their responsibilities. We also conduct ‘snap’ surveys on relevant NED topics from time to time.
