The Bredin SMB HR Pulse is a quarterly survey of a representative national sample of SMB HR decision-makers. This shared-cost research gives you fast, cost-effective survey results from a population that can be cost-prohibitive with full custom research.

The Bredin SMB HR Pulse survey delivers responses from 500 HR decision-makers – such as owners, heads of HR and HR directors – at:

• 250 companies with 1 to 19 employees
• 150 companies with 20 to 99 employees
• 100 companies with 100 to 500 employees

Bredin research shows that many SMBs don't have a dedicated head of HR, making it difficult to find the right decision-maker. Only 9% of companies with fewer than 20 employees have a full-time head of HR, but this changes as companies grow: 53% of SMBs with 20-99 employees and 67% of SMBs with 100-500 employees do have such leadership. Whether they're the owner, the CHRO, a VP or director of HR, or working under a different title, the Bredin SMB HR Pulse gives you insight from SMB HR decision-makers.
