This ensures proper completion of the document and facilitates the data collection process.

 

IMPORTANT : Participants will be required that all incumbents covered by the survey be reported, To respect an equal weighting amongst various participants, especially for well populated positions, the program will ensure that reported data in the survey will not exceed 3 inputs per position/per company (i.e. Q1, median and Q3)
