WOODMERE, Ohio, June 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- MarshBerry has released their biennial 2016 Agency Compensation Report. The study aims to determine how salaries, commissions, bonuses and employee benefit levels in insurance agencies and brokers have changed. This report is one of a kind in the industry.

The 2016 Agency Compensation Report presents the aggregate responses provided by the 424 insurance agencies that participated in the study, as well as relevant data sets from the MarshBerry proprietary financial management system Perspectives for High Performance ("PHP"). It is extremely important to take a look at what agencies are paying their sales, service, support and executive personnel. Most agencies allocate just under 70% of their revenue to compensation costs. Since this is the largest expense for an agency, it makes sense to manage it wisely.

"Companies may experience competition in attracting and retaining talent and may have to offer a more appealing compensation package. At the current low organic growth and leveling profit environment in the insurance brokerage space, having a talent management strategy is important," stated Megan Bosma, Senior Vice President at MarshBerry. "Compensation (payroll plus benefits) is the largest expense for agencies. If not controlled, it could negatively impact profit."

The complete report offers insight on:

Executive & Management Compensation
Validated & Unvalidated Producer Compensation
Service Staff Compensation
Support Staff Compensation
Trends in Employee Benefit
Case Studies on Each Function

The report is available via PayPal for $950 by clicking www.MarshBerry.com/2016Comp
