Why participate?
WorldatWork members (or Salary Budget Survey Access + purchasers) who complete the Salary Budget Survey in full (and remain in good standing at time of publication) receive a complimentary subscription to the 2025-2026 Salary Budget Survey, which includes the Executive Analysis, Detailed Tables and 18 months of access to the 25-26 Interactive Tool for U.S. and Canada. WorldatWork members who do not participate in the survey may purchase a 2025-2026 Salary Budget Survey subscription for $395 (non-member price $1265.)
I'm a WorldatWork member, how do I participate?
- Find your personal link. If you are a current WorldatWork member, we sent you an invitation by email to your membership email address on 3 March 2025. It contains a personal survey link that is assigned to you as a member. (If you wish to have a member of your team complete the survey on your behalf, you may share the link with that person. Access to the SBS report and interactive tool will be granted to the member whose invitation was used.)
- Coordinate with your team. If several members of your team are WorldatWork members, we recommend that you discuss prior to completing the survey and use the link sent to the person who most needs access to the report and interactive tool.
- Recover a lost link. If you are unable to find your invitation email, you can fill out our invitation request form and we’ll get back to you with your invitation information. Please allow us two business days to respond to your request.
Not a member? Here’s how you can participate.
- Find a member colleague: Check with your team and see if someone else in your organization is a WorldatWork member. Complete the survey on their behalf using their personal member link.
- Become a WorldatWork member: Join online (After you join, please fill out our invitation request form and we’ll get back to you with your invitation information. Please allow us two business days to respond to your request. )
This Excel file may be used to prepare for completing the online SBS, and is required for anyone granted a special accommodation to complete the survey outside of our survey platform. If you are completing this spreadsheet as part of an accommodation request, you must complete the Background and Regions tabs and at least one country tab. On the "AllOtherCountries" tab, you may duplicate the Country columns as many times as you need in order to prepare for all of the countries for which you are reporting data.
