The United Fresh Foundation has this week announced that, through its centre for leadership excellence, it has introduced a national produce industry compensation tool to assist industry members in providing critical compensation benchmarks.
Starting this month, United is launching a survey to measure compensation and benefits levels for 30 positions within the produce industry using a new, proprietary online survey.
Prepared by research firm industry insights, the online survey is designed to confidentially collect data from US produce companies on a range of full-time positions, including sales and marketing, production and operations, quality control and assurance, administration, finance and accounting, and executives.
'Our members have told us that they want reliable metrics on the salaries and benefits of several critical positions within the produce industry,' said Victoria Backer, United Fresh senior vice-president of member services, foundation. 'In fact, this new survey tool has been developed in direct response to input from United's grower-shipper board and our members who have expressed a desire to ensure their competitiveness in the marketplace and employment of the highest quality executives and workforce.'
