It’s important to attract—and retain—the best employees to ensure the long-term success and sustainability of your tribal organization. And given an exceptionally competitive labor market and the usual budget constraints, this means basing your employee compensation and benefits programs on relevant and reliable data.
Since 2011, REDW has continued to compile a comprehensive annual survey of employee compensation data that Tribal Governments and Tribal Gaming organizations need to make smart, strategic decisions for strengthening their workforce. Each year data is collected in the Spring and Summer and a full report of the findings, complete with historic trends, is made available in the Fall.
Our 2024 Tribal Compensation Survey is underway! Contribute your employee compensation data to help empower your organization and others in Indian Country.
