National survey to focus on Sport, Fitness and Aquatic salaries
People working in sport, fitness and aquatics jobs in Australia are being called upon to participate in a national survey mapping salary levels. The 2010 Sportspeople Salary Survey was launched today and is managed by job board operator and recruitment agency Sportspeople.
The data collected in the 2010 Sportspeople Salary Survey will focus on salary levels in the sport, fitness and aquatic sector and report on these trends using Location, Job Title and Organisation Type.
According to Sportspeople's Managing Director Robert McMurtrie, the intention is to repeat the Salary Survey annually to determine whether there are any changes and if so, the quantum of these shifts.
"Sportspeople has been conducting research into the sport, fitness and aquatic sector since 1996 and over this time has published a number of hallmark industry reports on issues such as workplace trends and remuneration. The data Sportspeople collects is freely available at the Sportspeople Library and is widely used by job seekers, employers, Government Agencies and researchers."
"One of the most complex issues we faced when developing the 2010 Sportspeople Salary Survey questions related to "descriptors" or Job/Position titles. Sportspeople recognises there are many Job Titles in sport, fitness and aquatic and these are not always aligned with the specific duties. Using the jobs listed at the Sportspeople Jobs Market for the past twelve months alone, we reduced over 5,000 jobs to around 1,000 Job Titles and then again to a smaller, more general list for use in the 2010 Sportspeople Salary Survey."
"For those people can't find a Job Title that fits, we've added an "Other" option for you. Most respondents should be able to select a title from the list supplied. We are hoping everyone working in the sport, fitness and aquatic sector finds 5 minutes to do the Survey as we intend to share the information later in the year. " he said.
Consistent with previous surveys, all responses to the 2010 Sportspeople Salary Survey are confidential. The results will be available in Report format and published at the Sportspeople website late 2010.
The 2010 Sportspeople Salary Survey is now open and can be accessed via the NEWS section at the Sportspeople website – www.sportspeople.com.au
