PwC Executive and Management Reward Survey

Organisations continue to navigate an evolving landscape of economic uncertainty, easing yet persistent inflation, subdued economic growth, and higher employment costs - all while competing in tight labour markets for critical skills. These pressures have made decisions on pay levels increasingly complex, with businesses taking varied approaches to talent attraction and retention.

In this environment, having a clear and up-to-date picture of your pay position in the market is more valuable than ever.

PwC's Executive and Management Reward Survey enables organisations to benchmark the pay packages of their UK senior leadership team against the wider market including both public and private companies. Please note that all data will be treated as confidential, non-attributable, and aggregated to determine quartiles and provide broader insights.

Survey participants receive at no charge the following:

• A PDF report and spreadsheet for each submitted role against a selected comparator group.
• A market summary report providing an overview of remuneration levels and incentives.
• A complimentary copy of our annual Non-Executive Directors reports covering fees and trends in FTSE-listed companies.
