Compensation & Benefits Committee Annual Report - 2003-2004

Committee Members:

Gayle Williams, Chair
Mary Jo Durivage
Diane Piskorowski
Cheryl Hayes Gassen

Objectives:

Complete a "value" survey of the members of MDMLG to assess their usage of the compensation and benefit information analysis and adjust the full survey as necessary.
Distribute the modified survey to the members of MDMLG, compile data and disseminate a report of the survey results by the end of the calendar year.
File an annual report and maintain the committee file for the Archives.

Accomplishments:

Developed and completed a "value" survey that requested feedback and ideas with regard to the Salary and Benefits Survey completed in 2002. The survey was conducted electronically via the MDMLG website. Eight responses were received to the "value" survey and most indicated that the survey had assisted them in gaining wage adjustments.
Developed and distributed the 2004 MDMLG Salary and Benefit survey to 36 hospital library managers in the Detroit Metro area. Survey results will be compiled and disseminated to the membership later this year.

Recommendations:

Instead of conducting a formal "value" survey, future Compensation & Benefits Committee members may want to consider simply requesting survey modification ideas and feedback at a business meeting. Previous feedback surveys indicate that the actual Salary and Benefits Survey is useful and a formal needs assessment is probably no longer necessary.
