CharityConnect: Charity Sector Salary & Motivation Benchmarking Report 2024
We've just published the 2024 Charity Excellence Salary & Motivation Benchmarking Report. Here are the key findings.  Is this what you see in your charity? 
  • Our effectiveness in leading and managing people and the wellbeing of our people have both deteriorated, since late 2022.
    • We are seeing this in numerous other areas and it is almost certainly Cost of Living Crisis driven.
  • More than half of charities (55%) awarded salary increases of 3% to 5%.
    • 17% have not awarded any salary increase.
  • The gap between charity sector salary and those of other sectors continues to widen.
  • The outstanding metric was our passion for the charity sector and our work.
    • Then our willingness to tackle bullying/discrimination, and valuing and each other.
  • The 4 areas we do less well in were development and appraisal, job security, continuing to work in the sector and stress.
  • In terms of promoting wellbeing, what people want most is to be genuinely listened to.
    • Our weakest areas were having enough people with the necessary skills and experience and having feedback processes to be confident the staff/volunteer team were happy.
    • The highest rated areas were having a volunteer policy that ensured volunteers were supported and a willingness to deal with any discrimination/sexual harassment.
The data used in this report is a blend of our Charity Data Store Data and external survey data.  Whilst not exactly comparable, the results of each supported the other, with no significant differences noted.
