Disaster Recovery Journal

BC Management strives to educate the BC profession by developing annual compensation and program benchmarking reports. These complimentary reports have been published on an annual basis since 2001. The data used in these reports have been collected via an on-line, confidential survey that is distributed to continuity professionals on a worldwide basis. We have found the compensation reports to be incredibly helpful in assessing compensations for new hires as well as retaining top continuity professionals. The program benchmarking reports have been invaluable to continuity professionals in assessing budgets, dedicated continuity personnel as well as benchmarking their overall continuity program on industry trends.
