CLO100 Launches Annual L&D Leader Benchmark Survey
New industry-wide initiative aims to provide definitive, anonymous data on L&D salaries, budgets, and team structures to map the reality of modern Learning Departments
CLO100 has announced the launch of its Annual L&D Leader Benchmark Survey. Designed specifically for Learning and Development professionals, this landmark initiative aims to solve a long-standing challenge in the industry: the lack of clear, honest, and accessible benchmarking data.
For years, L&D leaders have faced the same recurring questions from executive boards and internal teams without having robust data to back up their answers:
- What does an L&D leader typically earn?
- How big are most L&D teams relative to organisation size?
- What does an average L&D budget actually look like today?
The CLO100 Annual L&D Leader Benchmark Survey was built to finally paint an accurate picture of where the profession stands, empowering leaders with the insights they need to advocate for their departments.
Empowering Leaders Through Data
The data collected from this survey will serve as a powerful tool for L&D professionals worldwide. By participating, leaders will gain access to insights that help them:
- Make a stronger case for budget increases and additional headcount.
- Benchmark their own salaries, team structures, and investment levels against industry peers.
- Understand macro-trends and see exactly where the L&D profession is heading.
"Good data on the operational realities of L&D has always been incredibly hard to find," says Cathy Hoy, CEO and Co-Founder of CLO100. "We want to change that. This survey is designed to build a transparent, honest reflection of our industry today. Every response makes the final data more robust and valuable for the entire community."
How to Participate
The survey is quick, highly accessible, and designed to fit into a busy leader's schedule:
- Time commitment: It takes just 5–7 minutes to complete.
- Privacy: The survey is completely anonymous.

CLO100 encourages all current and aspiring L&D leaders to take a few minutes to contribute. The findings will be aggregated and shared with the community later this year, providing a definitive roadmap for strategic planning and advocacy.
