Shaping the Content & Connectivity Industries’ Compensation Surveys
Virtual Planning Meetings Announced

SPRINGFIELD, ILL., JANUARY 9, 2025 —In any given year, several factors impact pay practices
including the economy, the labor market and changes in employment laws. For 2025, there are
some unique considerations including a new presidential administration, potential shifts in labor
policies, rising prices, the lingering effects of layoffs that occurred in 2024, and the continued
rollout of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace.

For more than 25 years, the Content & Connectivity Human Resources Association (C2HR) has
been a trusted source for industry-specific compensation benchmarks on merit increases, base
pay, bonuses, long-term incentives and other pay practices. In 2024, 49 companies submitted
data for C2HR’s surveys. Industry employers leverage the findings to make informed decisions on
compensation practices and respond to changing market conditions.

One of the unique characteristics of C2HR’s Annual Compensation Surveys is participants’
involvement in shaping the current year’s survey to reflect emerging job positions. Compensation
professionals from content developers will convene via Zoom on Tuesday, January 21 from 1:00
to 4:00 p.m. EST, and connectivity providers will meet virtually on Thursday, January
23 from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m. EST. To participate in one of the meetings, please contact Laurie
Krashanoff at 415.485.5521 or laurie@croner.com.

The meetings will be led by Hali Croner, CEO of The Croner Company. She will present pay trends
and highlights from the 2024 surveys and encourage discussion of the scope of the 2025 surveys,
compensation topics and emerging trends. The Croner Company will manage the collection and
analysis of data for the 2025 C2HR Compensation Surveys and will strongly enforce
confidentiality throughout the survey cycle from the planning meeting through published reports
of results. To ensure confidentiality, the survey results from any given company cannot be seen,
and only summary information pertaining to all survey participants is available. In addition, The
Croner Company confirms in writing and orally that there is no discussion of actual pay levels at
the planning meetings. This reporting approach complies with Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
regulation and encourages participation without fear of exposing proprietary information.
