Positive Indicators Highlighted in 2011 Study Findings ... One, there are more respondents who noted a total compensation increase (52% in 2011 compared to 44% in 2010). Secondly, there was also a large increase in average percent change in total compensation for those who did change jobs (13% in 2011 up from 6% in 2010).

The comprehensive report (40+ pages) was distributed as a complimentary report to those professionals who completed BC Management’s 10th Annual BCM Study. Haven't received your report? Contact BC Management . Next Canada BCM Compensation Report will not be published until August 2012. A BCM Compensation report was recently published for the USA too. Read an excerpt of this 50+ page report. How to use the BCM Compensation Report (40+ pages)?
- Evaluate how your credentials/ expertise compare to your peers. For example, what percent of respondents are certified and degreed? What percent of respondents are leaders in the profession in regards to publishing, public speaking, and serving on an association board? Quite simply... what's the competition?
- Assess the trending of skill sets, specifically with certifications and advanced education in the profession.
- Identify the skills needed toobtain your career goals and increase your earning potential.
- Determine where your experience lines up in each data chart. Average these compensation findings from all the data charts based on your level of expertise.

View BCM Program Management Data Research/ Metrics reports also available. Reports coming soon for Europe, Asia Pacific and other regions based on response
This question has come up multiple times with our clients…. There is certainly a challenge in managing recovery efforts overseas and many organizations want to know how others are managing the business continuity program in facilities that are not their primary location. BC Management’s data indicates that a majority of corporations with up to 5,000 offices indicated one of the following: 1) Manage the BC program from the primary corporate office with periodic travel to other office locations. Upwards of 40% of respondents regardless of the size of the organization up to 5,000 offices. - OR - 2) Manage the BC Program with existing resources that are not experienced in business continuity/ disaster recovery planning. Usually upwards of 25% regardless of the size of the organization up to 5,000 offices. Those study respondents with 5,000 + offices indicated a more evenly distribution across the study selection options. These larger organizations are more likely to either place an expatriate (13%) or hire a full-time, permanent professional local to the office (25%). View BC Management data findings - http://www.weebly.com/uploads/3/7/5/2/3752086/bcm-non_primary_offices_image.png. This data chart only focuses on those study respondents who either manage a global program or who manage a regional program with multiple countries.
