The survey gathers input from participating firms and incorporates methodological standards designed to maintain consistency across sectors and organization sizes.

Key Characteristics
Source:
1. Participant Submissions from HR Departments
All data is directly compiled from compensation records voluntarily submitted by participating organizations’ HR teams—both private and public entities within the Northwest (AK, ID, OR, WA).
This includes base salary, bonuses, total cash, and other executive compensation components.
2. Quality Control by Milliman Analysts
Milliman applies its proprietary data verification procedures, including automated checks and follow-up calls to participants to resolve any anomalies or omissions in the submissions.
This ensures high data accuracy and completeness.
3. Antitrust-Compliant Aggregation and Confidentiality
Data is aggregated following strict confidentiality protocols, ensuring:
4. Detailed Segmentation
Survey participants are segmented by criteria like industry, organization size, geographic location, and specifically the executive roles under study. Provides granular benchmarking for top executive positions across the Northwest region.
5. Annual Update Cycle
The survey is conducted annually; e.g., the 38th edition’s data was collected in mid-2024, with results released in late 2024 or early 2025. Each annual iteration ensures up-to-date compensation trends and benchmarks.
