About the research
Using REBA's extensive membership of 4,400 senior reward and benefits practitioners and a curated database of over 20,000 senior HR contacts, we conducted an online survey in January and February 2024: 234 organisations, representing an estimated 1.5 million employees, took part.
This approach ensured a broad and diverse set of data, reflecting a cross-section of employer sizes and industry sectors in the UK. REBA’s robust methodology helps uncover clear future trends and decision-making patterns among employers. This approach allows REBA to provide reliable insights, helping to guide better decisions in employee reward and benefits practices.

Debi O'Donovan
I’m Debi and I co-founded REBA in 2015, where I am a director. I enjoy sharing insights, data and information about employee benefits and pay via articles, research, guides and videos because I believe it helps so many employees receive better reward packages than they would if REBA didn’t distribute this knowledge. REBA has a great community and it makes my work fun to talk to the wide variety of people working in reward and benefits through our events, both large and small.
