Competitive Data

When data drives decisions, you attract and retain the best people.

Stay competitive with Catapult’s salary, benefits, and policy data.

Catapult has been delivering data-driven insights to North Carolina employers for years. We found that most research on business trends focused on national and global standards, without reflecting our unique regional circumstances. So, we set out to benchmark regional employers’ people strategies, surveying them on salary, benefits, policies, and trends.

Our reports have become required reading for employers in the Southeast. Our survey team collects and analyzes data from hundreds of employers of all sizes and industries throughout North Carolina, with significant representation from small to mid-size organizations.

Our regional and national survey reports support your data-driven people strategy, so you’ll attract and retain the best talent.

Every year we work diligently to collect the most up-to-date information, then translate the results into business intelligence to help you create competitive compensation and rewards packages.

Catapult research helps you:

  • Analyze job descriptions by industry, geography, and size of organization
  • Remain current with the latest HR policies and business trends
  • Make confident decisions about your pay practices
  • Compare your company’s benefits package to your competitors’
  • Develop strong talent management and total rewards packages

Our surveys are open to all regional companies, so if you’d like to participate contact us at (866) 440-0302.

Catapult members have unlimited access to all our research reports. To learn more about this and other valuable resources open to members, check out the benefits of membership page.
