Since 2011, REDW has been leading the charge to provide meaningful insights when it comes to Tribal Compensation. By analyzing comprehensive wage and benefits data collected from Tribal Governments and Gaming organizations nationwide, we’re able to offer a clear picture of how your compensation strategies stack up against the competition.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I participated in the past, should I participate this year?

Yes! You should participate every year to ensure you have the most current and accurate data possible. Compensation structures change year to year, and staying competitive in attracting and retaining talent in your geographical area is important.

What if I don’t contribute to Survey?

You may opt to purchase an Annual Summary Report that contains data from other tribal organizations nationwide, for a big-picture view of the compensation landscape. 

What data is accessible if I contribute and purchase the Survey?

The Survey gathers compensation data from participating tribes nationwide. The platform uses powerful filtering and comparing tools to generate a wide range of valuable reports that contrast your compensation data by specific position against that of other, similar tribes. These include:

  • Metric-by-metric comparisons, filtered according to:
    • Number of employees
    • Annual revenue
    • BIA region and/or Rural vs. Urban
  • A Tribal Benchmark Report of Participating Tribes, by:
    • BIA region
    • Number of tribal employees
    • Annual revenue
    • Tribes using Tribal Preference
    • Benefits offered
  • Trend Reports, showing year-over-year compensation trends per position
  • A comprehensive, dynamic Annual Report
What types of questions are asked?
  • What is the minimum annualized salary?
  • What is the hourly wage for the position?
  • What is the number of employees?
  • What is the number of employees who are Tribal Members?
  • Is there a stipend paid to Tribal Council/Board Members?
Is the data I submit confidential?

All data entered into the Surveys’ cloud-based platform is secure and accessible only by your tribal representative. Data specific to any individual tribal organization is never displayed in the Survey results, and controls are in place ensuring that a minimum data threshold must be met for reporting to occur. This prevents users from being able to deduce which tribes are reporting.

Can I compile my data in a spreadsheet rather than entering it online?

We offer handy Data Entry Worksheets, on our Data Contributors Resources Page, that you can download for both Surveys. You may even contact us for a link to securely send your information to us.

If you complete and return either worksheet to us by July 15, REDW will enter your data into the platform at no cost to you. If you elect instead to provide data exported from your HRIS, tiered pricing is available for Data Upload Services.
