We’re pleased to announce the release of the 23rd edition Global Resilience Compensation Report, an initiative developed by Resilience360 Advisory and supported by the BCI. This study highlights how different factors may impact a professional’s earning potential in the resilience profession. It offers a rich, data-driven benchmark for professionals in business continuity, crisis management, IT disaster recovery, and resilience disciplines.
This year’s edition goes beyond salary benchmarking. It provides valuable insights to assess your marketability, plan hiring strategies, and guide career development. It helps professionals evaluate their fair earning potential and conduct a skills assessment to strengthen career trajectories.
However, talent availability is limited. Full‑time professionals report historically low unemployment, with fewer individuals actively seeking new roles or relocating- even amid a strong remote work trend.
This slowdown reflects a tightening market, though overall demand remains steady and salaries remain competitive.
The 2025 report offers much more than a simple salary snapshot, it serves as a valuable resource for both individual professionals and organizations. Readers can use the data to compare their compensation across job titles, regions, levels of experience, and certifications. For employers, the report supports informed hiring strategies and retention planning by offering real-time compensation insights.
Participating in the study unlocks a personalized compensation dashboard that allows professionals to benchmark accurately, assess their career progression, and make informed decisions about development and compensation.
The report focuses on current base compensation for both full-time permanent employees and contract, temporary, or self-employed consultants. To ensure consistency, all figures were converted to U.S. dollars. For consultants, the report also includes a breakdown of low and high hourly rates.
While participants could respond as part-time employees, unemployed, or retired, only data from full-time and contract professionals were included in this year’s analysis. Those who participated confidentially received a customized peer compensation dashboard, tailored by job title or years of experience, an essential tool for meaningful compensation benchmarking. To receive this, we encourage you to participate in the study by November 30, 2025.
