From 2018 to 2019, annual cash compensation and total cash remuneration saw the biggest jumps in the history of the survey from $256,000 and $307,000 to $462,900 and $658,969 respectively.

Looking ahead, 38% anticipate further increases in 2020. Of those, respondents predict an increase of 17 percent.

“While the pandemic necessitated a temporary shift to remote work, many companies are now considering how to permanently expand their virtual workforce. This allows firms to consider a wider range of talent, including those not living near physical office locations,” said Austin Morris, Managing Director, Compensation Consulting, Ferguson Partners.

Respondents to this year’s survey included 134 professionals (end-users or occupiers of corporate real estate) at 122 large corporations in the U.S., Asia, Europe, Latin America, Canada and Australia/New Zealand.

On average the companies employed a total of 42,567 people with an average of 85 working in the corporate real estate department.
