ICT worker compensation study underway

Previous studies have shown the value of professional credentials as well as retirement trends.

For the fifth consecutive year, Cabling Installation & Maintenance is teaming up with Fluke Networks to field a study of compensation among workers in the information and communications technology (ICT) industry. The study is being conducted via an online survey that typically takes between 5 and 10 minutes to complete.

Previous years’ data have consistently shown that certain professional credentials, particularly including the Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD), correlate to higher compensation for workers, when compared to workers from similar demographics who do not hold the credentials. Other data from previous studies support the notion that the ICT industry is losing workers to retirement.

“Employers and employees alike have used the information from these studies to help ensure compensation within their own organizations is competitive,” Cabling Installation & Maintenance said. “As an expression of our appreciation for individuals’ participation, our colleagues at Fluke Networks are offering a MicroScanner Cable Verifier as a prize for one randomly selected participant. We’re also offering a prize of $200 in Amazon gift cards.”

As has always been the case with the compensation survey, any information participants provide remains confidential.

Professionals in the ICT industry can take the survey here.
