Metrics: Don’t Go to Management Without Them

Metrics for Compensation and Benefits

Sullivan suggests that rather than trying to use a statistical method to evaluate pay fairness, use an employee survey on perceptions of pay fairness compared with work expectations. Here are the measures he suggests:

• Amount in total compensation and benefits costs needed to generate a dollar of revenue. (Usually expressed in cents, e.g. 15¢ generates $1 in revenue.)
• Percentage of top-performing employees who resigned for compensation-related reasons (from exit surveys).

The bottom line on Sullivan’s advice is this: Whether you love or hate metrics, these days you have to have them to prove your contribution to the bottom line, in language that management understands.
