# Recognition and Compensation

Helps understand whether employees feel that their contribution is recognized and that compensation is fair.

## Key facts

- **Categories:** 2
- **Questions:** 12
- **Who to ask:** Organization employee
- **Topic:** Growth, recognition, changes

## When to run it

A salary review is approaching, or you are changing the benefits system. You want to understand whether employees consider their current package fair and transparent, and if they receive enough non-financial recognition for their successes to stay motivated.

## What it will show

- **Recognition of contribution:** How much an employee's contribution is noticed, named, and recognized in an appropriate way.
- **Compensation and benefits:** The fairness, clarity, and usefulness of material recognition of work.

## Example questions

- My significant contribution to the work is regularly noticed and recognized.
  - **What it measures:** Check whether the employee experiences recognition regularly enough that meaningful work does not feel invisible or taken for granted.
  - **Scale endpoints:** Disagree — Agree
  - **Open-ended clarification:** Which of your significant contributions most often goes unnoticed?
- I see a clear link between my contribution to the work and how my work is financially rewarded by the company.
  - **What it measures:** Check whether the employee sees pay as connected to their contribution, results, and the value of their work to the company, without collecting income amounts, desired raises, or comparisons with specific people.
  - **Scale endpoints:** Disagree — Agree
  - **Open-ended clarification:** What exactly makes it hard for you to see the link between your contribution and how your work is financially rewarded?
- When my contribution is recognized, it is clear to me which specific result or behavior I am valued for.
  - **What it measures:** Check whether recognition helps the employee understand which results or work behaviors are considered valuable, rather than simply creating a general sense of goodwill.
  - **Scale endpoints:** Disagree — Agree
  - **Open-ended clarification:** What usually remains unclear when your contribution is recognized?

## What's in the report

The report will divide the assessment into two parts: how satisfied people are with material compensation (salary, bonuses, benefits) and how they rate the culture of recognition in the company (whether they are praised for good work, if managers notice their contribution).
