NAPERVILLE, ILL., JANUARY 16, 2024 — Compensation continues to be in the spotlight as
pressure to ensure pay equity and the implementation of pay transparency laws continues. In
several states, employers can no longer request salary history or pay expectations from job
candidates. How can employers ensure fair salary practices amid a tight labor market? According
to Harvard Business Review, salary benchmarking is the solution. For more than 25 years, the
Content & Connectivity Human Resources (C2HR) association has armed employers in the
technology, media and entertainment industries with comprehensive, industry-specific metrics
which enable them 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. The 2023
planning committee meetings will be held virtually next week. Compensation professionals from
content developers will convene via Zoom on Tuesday, January 23 from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. EST,
and connectivity providers will gather on Thursday, January 25 from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. EST. To
participate in one of the meetings, please contact Laurie Krashanoff at 415.485.5521 or
laurie@croner.com.
During the meetings, Hali Croner, CEO of The Croner Company, the company that conducts the
surveys on behalf of C2HR, will present pay trends and highlights from the 2023 C2HR
Compensation Surveys. In addition, attendees will contribute to the design of the 2024 surveys
around new positions and levelsto include and participate in a peer roundtable discussion on key
compensation topics and current pressing issues. The planning meeting discussions will exclude
actual compensation levels.
The Croner Company strongly enforces confidentiality throughout the entire 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.
