IDS Executive Compensation Review

This month sees the publication of the findings from our latest quarterly management pay award round-up based on 77 private and public sector salary reviews. Altogether it covers nearly 70,000 managers and professionals with reviews conducted during the three months to July. We also look at top pay in building societies and mutual insurers. Although mutuals attract less attention than major financial institutions they are important players in the sector, and like their bigger counterparts, need to ensure the pay of their top teams remains competitive.

With Britain’s economy slowly recovering, we take the temperature of the graduate recruitment market, assessing the pay and job prospects for this summer’s university leavers for this month’s Job Market. While Royal Mail features as this month’s In Practice, where we take a close look about what its latest annual accounts reveal about the pay of its directors. Continuing the theme of public sector pay, this issue’s Policy and Analysis analyses the earnings differentials in both the public and private sectors in light of the Government’s decision to introduce a fixed pay ratio into the public sector.

The monthly IDS Executive Compensation Review (ECR) journal provides you with up-to-date information on all aspects of pay and practice for managers and professionals. The service provides guidance on market trends for specific job functions, new ideas in reward strategy, and the latest benchmarking data.

Each edition contains a brief round-up of the latest pay and reward stories, and key statistics and facts, along with five main sections:

• Monitor - a full range of pay and reward issues, covering topics of specific interest or wider decisions made by pay specialists
• In Practice - named case studies delivering a fresh perspective on developments, and on the current thinking of top employers
• Survey round-up - reviews of the latest salary surveys published by leading and specialist suppliers
• Job market - an in-depth look at a specific profession, helping you gain a picture of the latest trends, skills demands and recruitment pressures
• Speaker’s corner - thought-provoking opinion pieces on key pay and reward issues from prominent figures within the industry

A subscription to ECR also gives you the yearly in-depth research report Managers' Benchmark Pay Report.
