Leaders cannot look at the gender diversity or pay gap issue in isolation. Robust, proactive diversity and inclusion programs can pave the way for a culture of innovation and create opportunity for all.
The problem is that looking at CEO pay by looking through the lens of the top 200 best-paid CEOs tells you nothing about most CEO pay.
U.S.-based CEOs feel that a law similar to Iceland’s in the United States, to eradicate the gender wage gap, would be unrealistic at best, rating its likelihood of success 4.49 out of 10.
Ideally, CEOs want talent that is inspired by the mission and culture of their organization and derives deep satisfaction from crushing their goals and driving the enterprise forward.
According to Chief Executive’s compensation survey, most companies don’t follow best practices for motivating CEOs and other senior executives.
Peter Georgescu, former CEO of Y&R, has teamed up with Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone to urge CEOs to raise employee wages to grow the middle class—and save capitalism from itself.
There’s no denying it—increasing the minimum wage could have a significant negative impact for companies with employees in that pay bracket.
It’s a new age of corporate culture, and companies are making a splash by adopting philosophies that put the employee at the center of organizational growth.
Wells Fargo isn’t the only company reassessing its sales culture in the wake of the fake accounts scandal that ended former CEO John Stumpf’s career. Other businesses, too, are questioning the value of traditional selling practices that have typically rewarded individual performance above all else.
As mid-market companies continue to leverage executive talent to drive growth, they’re increasing compensation and using more pay-for-performance options.
