Delivering More Data to Clients

Starting in 2021, all existing Radford surveys, along with key Total Compensation Measurement® (TCM) surveys, will be merged into a single integrated product called the Radford Global Compensation Database; this product will allow clients to access benchmark data from nearly 13 million employees. This will be delivered on the Radford Network® and is designed to meet the complete compensation benchmarking needs of an organization. Merging multiple legacy surveys together onto a single global platform—imbued with Radford DNA—creates an unmatched resource for the world’s most innovative and dynamic companies who are looking to attract best-in-class talent.

The Radford Global Compensation Database will be comprised of the following surveys:

• Radford Global Technology Survey
• Radford Global Life Sciences Survey
• Radford Global Sales Survey
• Radford U.S. Pre-IPO/Venture-Backed Survey

• U.S. TCM Executive & Senior Management Survey
• U.S. TCM Broad-Based Employee Survey
• U.S. TCM Non-Exempt Employee Survey
• Global TCM
• Multiple TCM Energy Surveys
• Multiple TCM Industry Surveys

As you can imagine, to execute this transformation, we are adopting several significant methodology changes, including a new industry classification system, a new global job architecture and leveling system, and a new job library and job coding system. These changes, which we recognize are significant for clients like you, will allow us to deliver more data and better insights to customers, while also streamlining our commercial offerings and improving user experiences.

Radford Survey Database Growth

As the technology and life sciences sectors continue to evolve, along with a growing number of adjacent sectors like media and retail, Radford remains highly focused on seeking out the world's next great wave of innovative companies. To this end, we've added hundreds of new clients to our global databases in the last five years.

Number of Participating Organizations in Radford Surveys

Growing Incumbent Counts

As the number of participating organizations grows, so too does the number of incumbents matched to benchmark job codes. Since the start of 2016, incumbent counts for the Radford Global Technology Survey, the Radford Global Sales Survey and the Radford Global Life Sciences Survey have climbed by 49%, 30% and 25%, respectively.

These figures do not include more than a million additional incumbents now matched to our supplemental "GWA job codes" every year for the purposes of calculating workforce metrics.

A More Holistic Platform 

All of the charts above do not even include numbers from our Total Compensation Measurement (TCM) surveys. This means you can expect the addition of several million more incumbents to our platform in 2021.
