The Pharmaceutical Group of companies have several surveys each with its own bespoke analysis. The largest of the surveys is the Pharmaceutical Managerial/Professional Salary Survey and it comprises a range of benchmark jobs all carefully selected and audited by HR professionals in the industry. The jobs are in a number of generic and industry specific functions:

• IT
• Finance
• HR/Health & Safety
• Medical
• Production
• Quality
• Sales & Marketing
• Research & Development
• Legal
• Health Economics
• Compliance

The survey shows data on basic pay, bonus, on-target bonus and company cars/cash allowances for all job matches, for all of the companies in the survey, and then breaks the data down into subsets to enable companies to be sure they are comparing like with like. The subset analysis shows jobs grouped according to:

• Company turnover
• Company location
• International/UK only individual job match responsibility
• Gender analysis
• Job level analysis (whole survey and by function)

As with all our salary surveys, the Pharmaceutical Industry Salary & Benefits Survey is for participants only. Any pharmaceutical company with job matches is eligible to join. The survey is paid for by participant subscription which covers:

• Customised bi-annual Excel/PDF copy of the survey results
