Greenland Business Association to Establish Greenland’s First Salary Index – But We Need Your Help!

Several of our member companies have expressed a need for a common salary benchmark and greater transparency regarding salary levels in the Greenlandic labour market. To meet this need, Greenland Business Association has funded a major project in collaboration with Rambøll, which will lay the foundation for Greenland’s first salary index.

The aim is to establish a common and up-to-date basis for comparison that companies can use to benchmark salary levels and make more informed decisions regarding salaries and employment conditions.

Initially, the salary index will cover salaried employees in administrative and office-based positions. To ensure accurate and useful statistics, it is essential that as many companies as possible contribute salary data. At the same time, publication of the results requires a sufficiently large dataset to ensure that the information can be presented at an aggregated level, where individual employees cannot be identified.

During the coming week, we will therefore send an invitation and a data submission form to the relevant companies.

We hope that as many companies as possible will contribute to the project and thereby help create greater transparency in the Greenlandic labour market.
