About Our Survey
Compensation practices continue to evolve and this survey uniquely captures the evolution, through the detailed level of information collected and reported. The strategic management of compensation and human resources continues to be a critical factor in the success of a bank. For most banks, compensation constitutes the single largest non-interest operating expense.
It is extremely important that banking decision makers have current, reliable information for evaluating compensation and benefits at their own institutions. For this reason, the California Bankers Association (CBA), in conjunction with Pearl Meyer (PM), conducts our annual compensation and benefits survey. This survey provides base salary, incentive and commission compensation data as well as directors’ compensation information, data on human resources practices, comparative healthcare cost information and employee benefits summary statistics.
