Employment Services Workforce Survey

Australian Employment Services Workforce Survey of Remuneration and Human Resource Management Performance 2023

The Biennial Survey of Remuneration Benchmarks and HRM Performance in the Australian Employment Services Sector will be conducted through October and November 2023, in conjunction with Maguire Consulting.

Sponsored by the National Employment Services Association (NESA), the data collected and reported to participants enables providers to benchmark their key personnel remuneration and HRM performance against the key indicators of good management practice in the sector and the wider Australian economy.

The survey investigates the nature and levels of remuneration paid to key personnel within employment services organisations in Australia, and reports on human resource management performance benchmarks in areas considered critical to business performance.

The survey reveals significant trends in staff turnover, salary movements and bonus and incentive payments, and offers calculations on the cost of employment, staff induction and training and staff replacement. HR topics investigated include recruitment and retention, staff learning and development and employee welfare.

The latest survey in the series will also survey the impact of COVID-19 emergency measures on the employment services workforce as well as contributing to an evidence base that will assist NESA to effectively promote the interests of the sector.

The survey report will enable your organisation to compare your performance and consolidate your business strategies as they relate to the fast changing environment of the employment services sector.

As the survey is exclusively of Australian employment service providers we are keen to ensure the invitation to participate is sent to the appropriate person in each organisation. For example, you may wish to delegate the task of completing the survey to another person or members of your management team.

If you have any questions or you do not wish to receive an invitation to participate please contact Paul Maguire
