Compensation Report Released on Salary/Benefits for Patient Advocacy and Human Service Organizations

Online, December 6, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Are salaries going up or down for people who work for nonprofit health and human services organizations? Are benefits staying the same or are new ones coming on the scene? The 2012 Management Compensation Report includes salary and benefit data covering nearly 80 management and professional positions based on information supplied by the country's leading patient advocacy and human service organizations.

The Management Compensation Report is produced annually as a joint project of the National Health Council (NHC) and the National Human Services Assembly, and is the only report of its kind for the health and human services sector.

Compensation information is broken down by broad geographic location, organizational budget, and total number of employees. In addition, the survey summarizes various compensation practices, including salary adjustments, retirement and savings plans, medical benefits, variable compensation practices, paid time off, and board compensation practices. More than half of all survey respondents (56%) are located in the Washington, DC, or New York City metropolitan areas.

Fifty-one national organizations that are members of the NHC or the National Human Services Assembly, ranging from the American Cancer Society to Volunteers of America, provided data for the 2012 report. The NHC is the only organization that brings together all segments of the health community to provide a united voice for people living with chronic diseases and disabilities. The National Human Services Assembly is an association of the nation's leading national non-profits in the fields of health, human and community development, and human services.
