The Top Executive Salaries & Benefits Survey

The Organisation Size Grid

In the top executive area, the size of the organisation has a direct effect on the magnitude of the job, and on the compensation appropriate to that job.

For this reason, separate remuneration rates are reported for seven different 'bands' of organisation size throughout this report.

Organisation size, for the purposes of this survey, is determined by the following grid.

Number of	Annual Revenue ($Million)
Staff	Up to 25	26 to 100	101 to 250	251 to 500	501 to 1000	1001 to 2500	2501+

The variables used in the grids to determine organisation size are Number of Staff and Annual Sales Turnover ($ million) or Assets ($ million). The seven categories typically relate to the following organisation sizes:

Grid Size (Category)	Organisation Size
A	Small size organisations
B	Small to medium size organisations
C	Medium size organisations
D	Medium to large size organisations
E	Large size organisations
F	Large to very large size organisations
G	Very large size organisations
