Macdonald & Company, the recruitment consultancy that specialises in the property industry and built environment across the globe, has launched its latest survey on how people feel about their jobs and salaries.
Last year, there were nearly 7,000 respondents and the company is keen to continue its analysis of real estate professions and how people feel about working in that market. All participants receive the Executive Summary of the results when they are published in 2019, and four lucky participants win a £250 prize for taking the survey, which takes around five or six minutes to complete.
The questions it asks include:
- How much you are paid compared to your peers.
- How big the gender pay gap is in 2019
- What the industry thinks 2019 will bring
- How the industry anticipates Brexit will impact you personally, your organisation or your sector
- How people want to be compensated in 2019
- How much annual allowance people receive and if they use it or not
Peter Moore, managing director of Macdonald & Company, says: “The survey shapes opinion and builds a picture of compensation levels and attitudes held in property and the built environment. Now in its 20th year, it is the most comprehensive Rewards & Attitudes survey in our sector. This is your chance to benchmark yourself against thousands of professionals across the globe and in your region.”
He goes on to say: “In 2018, 65% of respondents received a base salary increase. Did everyone receive a pay rise this year or is the way people are being compensated changing? The average pay rise was 6.5% last year with just 4.3% receiving a pay rise as a result of an annual pay review.
“Sentiment in the industry last year was at its lowest for three years with only 28% believing activity would increase over the next 12 months. 34% believed they were either very or fairly likely to move jobs. Will economic activity increase or stay the same. What will 2019 bring?”
