24 Hours Left: Don't Miss Your 2026 Wage & Benefits Report
Time is running out! The deadline to participate in the 2026 Graphic Media Alliance Wage & Benefits Survey is Friday, July 17, and this is your final opportunity to be included in this year's comprehensive industry compensation report.
If you've participated in previous years, completing the survey is easier than ever. Simply open your existing survey, review and update any changes from the past year, and submit your information. For most companies, the entire process takes just 10 to 15 minutes.
If this is your first time participating, the survey will require a bit more time—but the investment pays dividends throughout the year. Participants receive access to an incredibly robust reporting platform that allows you to benchmark wages, salaries, benefits, PTO, incentives, retirement plans, healthcare offerings, and much more against companies of similar size and geography.
Whether you're planning budgets, evaluating compensation, recruiting new employees, or retaining your current workforce, the Wage & Benefits Survey provides trusted, industry-specific data to help you make informed business decisions with confidence.
The more companies that participate, the stronger and more valuable the data becomes for everyone. If you've been meaning to complete your survey, now is the time.
The deadline is Friday, July 17. Don't wait until the last minute—take a few minutes today and ensure your company is represented in this year's report.
Companies that complete the survey receive the full Wage + Benefits Report and online analytics FREE, a $250 value.
