How Do Employees Feel about Executive Compensation?

from Is Business Broken? · host Questrom School of Business

As we’ve discussed these last few episodes, there’s a lot that goes into how executives get paid—but what about the people working beneath those executives? How do employees feel about executive compensation, and how can companies balance rewarding top leaders while keeping employees engaged and valued? Today, we explore how pay structures shape workplace culture, trust, and motivation—and what can be done to make them feel fairer. Host Curt Nickisch speaks to Charlie Tharp, Professor of the Practice at BU Questrom School of Business and Peter Fasolo, Former CHRO at Johnson & Johnson. Learn more about your ad choices.
