Recruitment, Retention, and Compensation Study 2026

Welcome to the 2026 Recruitment, Retention, and Compensation Study by Franchise Business Review, part of our ongoing research to better understand hiring, compensation, and employee engagement trends in franchising. 
 
This survey is intended to be completed by an HR professional or senior executive within your franchise organization. You will be asked about payroll and general benefits information for key roles within your company, as well as current recruitment, hiring, and retention trends. The survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. All brands that submit data will receive a free copy of our compensation benchmark report (a $995 value) when it is released later this year. 

Thank you for your participation in this research. If you have any questions about this survey, please call us at 603.433.2270.
