Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long has the Dynamic Benchmarking platform been used for the TCIA Wage and Benefit survey?

    • The TCIA Wage and Benefit Survey has been utilizing the Dynamic Benchmarking platform for three years now. The 2021 survey will mark the fourth year members can complete the online survey and have unlimited access to the results and reports.

  • Why was the survey moved to Dynamic Benchmarking platform?

    • TCIA had previously conducted a basic wage and benefit survey that members could complete manually and mail or fax back the results to the TCIA offices. A static report was provided on the results and a limited comparison of the previous year results was provided. The evolving needs and demands of compensation benchmarking, including better security have grown beyond the scope that TCIA staff could provide and led us to identify a new platform to move this important industry study in a more progressive direction.
