United Fresh:
2015 compensation survey launched
The survey process, which has been conducted biannually since 2011, has been updated based on input from the United Fresh Finance & Business Management Council, and includes two new positions: Director of Social Responsibility and Accounting Manager. Further enhancements include expanded job descriptions and additional information on employee benefit practices.
This confidential survey, prepared by expert research firm Industry Insights, measures compensation and benefits from U.S. and Canadian-based produce companies. The results will be published later this spring in a detailed research report which will allow produce companies to directly compare their salaries and benefits for full-time positions across multiple business sectors, as well as by ownership type (family, private, public), type of business, produce sales volume, number of full-time employees and geography.
“Our business is constantly faced with challenges and the need for good information, ” said Scott Danner, President of Premier Produce and Chairman of United’s Finance & Business Management Council. “The survey is a tremendous benefit for the industry. The ability to benchmark and analyze your company’s current pay and benefit structure against like companies is invaluable.” The survey is now open at www.unitedfreshsurvey.com to any U.S. or Canadian-based produce industry employers including grower-shippers, brokers, wholesaler-distributors, importers, exporters and fresh- cut processors. The survey will remain open until April 17 and the final research report will be available for purchase at United Fresh 2015, the association’s annual convention and expo, June 8-10 in Chicago.
