The Next Level Purchasing Association recently released their 6th Annual Purchasing & Supply Management Salary Report – and compensation is something everyone in procurement can agree is a topic of great interest.

In this conversation we discuss:

• What the 'One Big Number' - or global average salary - was for 2016 and how that compares to other years.
• What new analytical dimension the NLPA applied to the 2016 salary data.
• What the 2016 survey revealed regarding the relative compensation of male and female procurement professionals, particularly in the Millennial generation.
• What procurement professionals can do to increase their income based on the granular findings of the report.
