Abstract
This extended abstract presents the latest findings and trends in remuneration based on the Safesearch annual HSE Remuneration Survey, due to be released in early 2013. The survey, now in its seventh year, includes data from more than 100 Australian companies, primarily from the ASX 200, and covers a diverse range of industries, including oil and gas.
Author Julie Honoré uses her knowledge and experience from a specialist search firm and connections and knowledge of both the education sector and regulatory environment to provide a snapshot of trends in educational qualifications, salaries of health and safety professionals, variations across industry sectors related to oil and gas, and the impact of geographical locations. The author also discusses how organisations can compete and respond to the skills demand to attract and retain HSE talent in a dynamic and ever-changing environment.
