ERI Economic Research Institute Inc

Accurate Compensation Data at Your Fingertips

ERI Economic Research Institute was founded over 35 years ago to provide trusted salary benchmarking and market pay insights for private and public organizations. ERI compiles the comprehensive salary, cost-of-living, and executive compensation survey data, complete with real-time, global market data. ERI combines its state-of-the-art data with advanced compensation management solutions, empowering organizations with control and oversight of their workforce. Data are analyzed using both cutting-edge AI methods and traditional statistics, with analytical methods tailored to the scenario.

ERI's published data are derived from five fundamental sources:

- Salary Surveys: ERI conducts salary surveys of HR departments to capture current market rates.
- Customer HRIS Data: Customer integrations with HRIS systems provide a consistent stream of updated compensation data.
- Data from Proxies/10-Ks and Forms 990: Proxies, 10-Ks, and Forms 990 document executive compensation for publicly traded and nonprofit organizations.
- Proprietary Databases: ERI captures compensation data from HR departments through a variety of portals, which flow into ERIs databases.
- Purchased Survey Data: ERI purchases salary survey data from other salary survey firms, which further increase ERIs data volume.
