HR Foundations was founded by a nationally recognized compensation expert (Dr. Jerry M Newman of the University at Buffalo School of Management). The firm has conducted a WNY total compensation survey every year since 1999. Major employers in the Buffalo-Niagara area have come to depend on the survey report as the only consistent and local source for compensation planning data. We are pleased to welcome our new survey partner, the Buffalo Niagara Partnership!
