23rd Edition Global Resilience Compensation Report Available We are excited to share that the 23rd Edition Global Resilience Compensation Report is now published and available as a complimentary download at Resilience360 Advisory. How can this report benefit you and your organization? This year’s edition goes beyond salary benchmarking. It provides valuable insights to assess your marketability, plan hiring strategies, and guide career development. With expert tips and trend analysis, it helps professionals evaluate their fair earning potential and conduct a skills assessment to strengthen career trajectories. While the complimentary report offers a strong global overview, customized dashboards deliver deeper value. These are tailored by job title or by years of experience, enabling you to benchmark against true peer groups and create a data-driven roadmap for growth and compensation planning. Please note that the global report is available to all, but customized dashboards are provided exclusively to professionals who participate in the study. There is still time to contribute to this study and unlock your personalized dashboard and this study does accommodate permanent employed professionals, independent /self-employed consultants, unemployed, and retired professionals involved in all things related to resilience management (business continuity, IT disaster recovery, crisis management, and emergency management).
