Access the Fall 2014 NAFCD Economic Outlook Report

The Fall 2014 NAFCD Economic Outlook Report, compiled by the Institute for Trend Research (ITR), is now available to all NAFCD members. 

The Fall report upgraded the outlook for US Industrial Production through the end of 2014 and for 2015. The trend in new and unfilled orders, capacity utilization rates, the strong financial position of the consumer, leading indicator trends, and the likelihood of ongoing low interest rates fueled the change. The 2015 projected percent increase, at 2.4%, is 0.8 percentage points higher than the previous outlook. View the full report to learn how these economic forecasts and more will affect your business.

2014 Employee Compensation Survey

Hiring and keeping good employees is essential to the profitability of your business, especially in today's economy. To achieve that goal, you must consider your overall employee compensation plan - not just your pay scales, but your benefits program as well - in comparison to other firms in distribution.

How does your firm's employee compensation package stack up in the industry? To help you evaluate your situation, NAFCD and NBMDA are co-sponsoring the 2014 Employee Compensation conducted by Profit Planning Group. Approximately 1,000 firms in 30 distribution lines of trade will be participating.

The value of this survey is threefold:

• The results help you determine where your compensation plan stands not only within the industry but also compared to other companies in distribution.
• The data helps NAFCD respond to legislative proposals regarding government mandated health and leave benefits for employees.
• The information helps companies that must prove their compensation is "reasonable" within the constraints of the Internal Revenue Code.

Participants will receive a complimentary copy of the results in May 2014. Non-member participants will be subject to a fee for the report. Results will include information on executive compensation, employee compensation, sales commission plans, inside/counter sales policies, and benefit programs. For more information on this report, visit our website.

To participate, please click here (Excel) or here (PDF) for a copy of the survey. Once you download the survey, please mail the completed survey to The Profit Planning Group by February 28, 2014.
