Invitation to participate: Compensation strategies to motivate and retain employees during uncertain economic conditions

Second annual survey

We
are pleased to extend to you an invitation to participate in our second
annual survey of employers across the nation on their compensation
strategies in this changing environment. 

Deloitte
first conducted this survey in September 2008, during one of the most
significant economic downturns in the last 80 years.  Since then, many
companies have greatly reduced funds available for merit increases,
annual bonuses, and long-term incentives (e.g., stock options,
restricted stock, long-term cash plans, etc,),  Further, company stock
values remain well below prior levels.

Many
companies are searching for ways to help their employees feel valued,
while still adhering to their existing compensation philosophies and
principles.  This survey is designed to capture ways companies are
approaching this problem.

will remain completely confidential and will not be directly associated
with you in any way.  We will provide you with a complimentary copy of
