Week 7 DQ
You are a member of the Board of Directors for a non-profit organization. A new
executive director has just been hired. The previous executive director received a salary
and no variable pay. Several Board members have indicated they would like the new
executive director to be paid based in part on the organization’s achieving its goals. What
might be some other options for variable pay for this executive? Should the Board go
ahead with some sort of variable pay? Why or why not?
The Board members disagree about whether to offer the new executive director a flexible
benefits package. She had one at her previous employer and has said she would like to
have it. No other employees have it. Should the Board include this in her compensation
and benefits package? Why or why not?
