Chief Financial Officer, Tammie Nelson. “The report allows our company to gain insights and a competitive analysis as we make important decisions.”
This year, the South Bend – Elkhart Regional Partnership is partnering with Braun Analytics to facilitate a shorter survey refined to compile information on benefits, including health insurance plans and costs, time off, retirement plans, financial incentives, workplace practices such as training opportunities, wellness incentives and childcare assistance, and other areas. The information from the benefits survey is confidential with information that identifies employers separated from the survey data. The Benefits Survey will be combined with curated wage data published by EMSi, a labor market analytics firm, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics to deliver a comprehensive 2021 Wages and Benefits report for the South Bend – Elkhart region, which will be available to all participants in August 2021.
Participation is a crucial part of this assessment and the South Bend – Elkhart Regional Partnership encourages participants to take the time to be accurate and thorough. The survey outcomes will be beneficial to regional companies, communities, and the South Bend – Elkhart region as a whole!
