SCORR Marketing, a global health science marketing and communications firm, has announced that a new Industry Salary and Employee Satisfaction Survey Report is now available for free download. The report, produced in partnership with Applied Clinical Trials, is based on a survey of its subscribers working at pharmaceutical and biotech companies, contract research organizations (CROs), research sites and academic institutions.

“Better pay is not necessarily an indicator of job satisfaction,” said Anne-Marie Hess, senior strategic advisor at SCORR. “The survey found that clinical research professionals who work at research sites are the lowest paid in the industry; however, their overall job satisfaction was the highest among those surveyed.”

The survey includes responses from professionals working in clinical operations, research and development, project management and other positions, with roles ranging from top executives to directors, managers, associates or coordinators, consultants, nurses and scientists.

“Among the key takeaways of the report is that inadequate access to training, continuing education and career development was frequently cited as a reason for job dissatisfaction,” said Michael Tessalone, vice president/group publisher of Applied Clinical Trials. “The generally low level of job satisfaction within the industry has led to a high percentage of people looking for new jobs, with nearly 41 percent of respondents saying they are seeking new opportunities.”

The Salary and Employee Satisfaction Survey Report is available for free download now at scorrmarketing.com.
