Survey Brief
To determine the prevalence and the effectiveness of variable pay programs that are most commonly used in organizations today, WorldatWork partnered with Dow Scott (Professor of Human Resources, Loyola University Chicago) and Hay Group, LLC to conduct a survey of WorldatWork members. Respondents were asked to describe and evaluate their variable pay programs for management and professional employees as they related to: prevalence of design and administrative features; organizational effectiveness; and communication and implementation of variable pay strategies and programs.
