Guide Offered For Obtaining Security Staff Fair Compensation

Jan 2, 2008 12:20 PM

In partnership with its strategic alliance partner Foushée Group Inc., a compensation consulting and research firm, the Security Executive Council has posted "The Security Leader's Guide to Obtaining Fair Compensation for Staff" at www.securityexecutivecouncil.com/sec/comp.

Knowing what the market is paying for a particular position helps security leaders set their own compensation plans to attract the best talent and keep current staff satisfied. A compensation survey is the best source for this valuable compensation data. "The Security Leader's Guide to Obtaining Fair Compensation for Staff" describes the types of compensation surveys available and outlines five steps to gaining the organizational support needed to participate in a paid survey.

This short guide draws upon the book Security Careers by Jerry Brennan and Steve Walker, available from the Security Executive Council store at www.securityexecutivecouncil.com/secstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=181. Walker is partner in Foushée Group Inc., which has recently launched its seventh annual Security and Compliance Compensation Survey. The survey collects compensation information on 73 executive, management, professional and technical positions. The survey report includes detailed job descriptions with education and experience guidelines for each, as well as compensation results broken down by region, type of organization, industry and financial dimension.
