Employee Engagement and the Role of Rewards: Research From Compensation Professionals and Leaders of Fortune Magazine's Most Admired Companies

Program Details

C-suite executives in Fortune Magazine’s Most Admired Companies, Chicago Compensation Association members and WorldatWork members will tell us how the best organizations keep employees engaged in the toughest business environment in decades and how they re-energize a "beaten down" workforce as they prepare for recovery-related growth. A weak labor market may have held down turnover rates but if organizations fail to address employee engagement concerns and retention of talent proactively they are likely to find employees exiting in significant numbers as other opportunities begin to become more plentiful.

This survey builds upon seven previous reward practices studies we have conducted with the Chicago Compensation Association and WorldatWork members and the long-term relationship that the Hay Group has had Fortune Magazine’s Most Admired Company research. Our research has received national acclaim and the findings have been presented at numerous professional meetings, national conferences and published in WorldatWork Journal and Compensation and Benefits Review.
