We’ve crossed the 90-minute mark for the 2010 Project Management Benchmark Survey. Two days of extra time will be added on to the clock.
The Arras People 2010 Project Management Benchmark Survey is in its final three days. Act now to get your voice heard.
The leading UK survey of trends, issues and news concerning project managers will be closed to the public for good this Wednesday, 27th January. Our findings and conclusions about the project management industry will be made available to the public and those who signed up to receive copy next week.
With recession at the tip of everyone’s tongue, the findings from the 2009 Benchmark Report and this year’s edition should undoubtedly make for interesting studies of comparison and contrast. So to quote an oft-repeated phrase of journalists, narrators and historians, before we can find out where we are, we have to know where we were.
In February 2009, this is what we knew about project management in the UK:
- Recession hit the project management market, with the majority of professionals fearing redundancies and cuts
- Over a third of all respondents said they were ‘worse off’ last year (2008) and 22% of freelancers experienced decreased rates, with a significant number (11%) experiencing cuts of more than 10%
- Employees fared better than contractors with salary expectations being met in 2008
- Project Managers are a resilient lot. Despite the widespread doom and gloom, only 8% described their personal situation as ‘gloomy’, 63% described their situation as ‘steady’ and 18% as ‘neutral’
- A massive 84% of Project Management Professionals believe they have a significant role to play in helping the UK economy out of its current difficulties
- Public sector employees are better protected than private. Twice as many private sector employees and 5% more contractors expect rewards to fall in 2009
- The gender pay gap is not closing
