Building better workplaces through compliance, culture, connection

The answer is simple: by belonging to Cascade Employers Association, or another HR consulting association, those in HR and leadership roles gain an advantage over others in the same roles elsewhere, because they have access to ongoing expertise and accurate guidance when they need it: in real-time, from familiar consultants, on a variety of subjects, and from a perspective that takes into account their specific industry and location(s) of doing business.

The 2023 Regional Pay Survey reports are now available! This year, 318 organizations participated from across Oregon and Washington, representing data for 24,353 employees.  From that data we were able to report on 377 positions overall.  Of the 318 participants, 113 were nonprofits, which resulted in 113 positions being reportable in the Nonprofit Report.

Members are the reason that Cascade Employers Association has existed for over 75 years. As a “thank you” for the ongoing support of over 600 Oregon and SW Washington employers, we are dedicating June to OUR MEMBERS! We have set aside the entire month of June to show our appreciation with free webinars, prizes and more!
