One signal

ASML chief executive Christophe Fouquet wants employee feedback to play a greater part in executive bonuses and long-term pay, according to Ad Hoc News, citing an internal memo.

The report says more than 38,000 employees took part in the latest survey, with its engagement index falling to 73.5% from 78% a year earlier. It does not say how much compensation would depend on the new Workplace Experience Index, so the proposal’s financial weight remains unclear. For a chip-equipment maker facing strong demand and a restructuring, tying leadership rewards to staff experience would be a notable change in what gets measured. The principle is tidy; the details will decide whether it is more than a well-worded intention.

Discuss: Should employee feedback have a direct effect on executive pay, or is it too easy to turn a survey score into a management target?
