President's Report
One topic that seems to be surrounded by a lack of information is salary data for the commercial real estate industry. It is vital that managers and owners have access to this information to attract and retain the best talent. To that end, NAIOP has published its 2020 NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Compensation and Benefits Report. Is your salary and bonus package competitive? Find out with the 2020 NAIOP/CEL Commercial Real Estate Compensation and Benefits Reports.
These valuable reports enable commercial real estate businesses to stay current on salaries, bonuses and benefits for professionals in executive to entry-level positions. The reports include submissions from over 300 companies; salary, bonus, incentives and benefits for up to 200 positions; and data from 100,000 distinct jobs in the office/industrial, retail and residential property sectors.
Enjoy and we hope this is helpful as you plan for what will be an important year upcoming.
With this I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!
