3 PURPOSE AND METHOD The findings cited in this report are based on a survey sponsored by ALM Media. The purpose of this research project was to gather compensation and employment information among risk management professionals. The survey sample of 5,802 included all able National Underwriter Property & Casualty magazine subscribers who indicated their type of business on the subscription form as Risk Management, P&C Insurance Purchasing, or Employee Benefits. Of the addresses sampled, 456 were returned as undeliverable, resulting in a net effective mailout of 5,346. The 30-question survey was designed jointly by ALM Media and Readex. Placement of the survey on a web page, distribution of the electronic survey invitations, and tabulation of the results were handled by Readex. On January 12, 2016, Readex contacted all sample members via an in the name of National Underwriter Property & Casualty s editor-in-chief, which included a link to the survey, asking for their participation in the study. It was mentioned that select results would be published in the April issue of National Underwriter Property & Casualty, and that respondents would receive a free copy of the complete aggregated results by (an incentive to participate). Reminder s were sent on January 18 and 28 to those with deliverable addresses who had not yet responded. The survey was closed for tabulation on February 1, 2016, with 586 total responses an 11% response rate based on the net effective mailout. To best represent the audience of interest, 86 respondents were terminated from the survey after indicating in the first question they do not consider themselves full- or part-time risk managers (15% of all survey respondents). This reduction implies an estimated population of 4,500 National Underwriter Property & Casualty recipients represented by the survey results. The margin of error for percentages based on 500 usable responses is ±4.1 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. The margin of error for percentages based on smaller sample sizes will be larger. As with any research, the results should be interpreted with the potential of non-response bias in mind. It is unknown how those who responded to the survey may be different from those who did not respond. In general, the higher the response rate, the lower the probability of estimation errors due to non-response and thus, the more stable the results. The response was tabulated and this report was prepared by Readex in accordance with accepted research standards and practices. Percentages may not add to 100% due to rounding and non-response. 1
