Last year, we reported that IR budgets continued to fall, salaries for department heads ticked up, use of outsourcing increased and macroeconomic issues became less of a challenge for IR practitioners.
Those are just a handful of the findings pulled from our IR Magazine Global Investor Relations Survey, which we conduct to review the state of investor relations across different regions, market caps and sectors. Last year, we had more than 1,500 respondents, making it the biggest survey of its kind.
The latest round of the survey is currently under way and will close on February 20. The next round of the IR Magazine Global Investor Relations Survey will take place in June 2015.
