1. Welcome to the 2025 Survey! Please read below for important information.

The purpose of the survey is to provide a comprehensive benchmarking tool for area companies to stay competitive by providing local wage, company policies and benefits information. Your participation is incredibly valuable and qualifies you for significant savings on the results.

We invite you to report on operations occurring in Berks County, Cumberland County, Dauphin County, Lancaster County, Lebanon County, and York County to provide a robust regional dataset.

Your data is confidential and stored in an encrypted system. To ensure data validity and regulatory compliance, we will only report on positions with data provided by 3 or more participating companies.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
  • Complete the REQUIRED Company Information section (page 1).
  • The positions are grouped according to overarching function/role. Please carefully review our included job descriptions to determine which sections you should complete.
  • Once the Company Information section is complete, please provide data in any section you wish to participate in. We kindly remind you that your participation enables us to provide a robust report for you – and the broader community.
  • At the end of each section, you can jump to any section you want to complete next. You do not need to go in order.
