Now its a very big question and matter of worry that should the employees of a company decide what should be the salary of their managers and CEO's......

Companies have realized that employees are the important aspect of their business and cant be taken for granted. So, should employees be involved in deciding the salaries??

Really an excellent and fruit yielding discussion.

Reena in my views the packages to senior managers must be decided by the company employees. Not only this even the CR of such departmental heads should be based on the routine marks given by the employees. To ascertain this there should be weekly feed back from the employees which should contain points/ columns based on various aspects, personality, relationship, leadership and allied qualities of the seniors to evaluate the seniors. This will establish a wave of fear among the seniors as presently seniors are in practice and presumption of being next to the employer.

The above CR would be helpful in deciding the salary / increments of the seniors apart from their personal abilities and outputs. Here it would not be out of place to mention that a all rounder manager would be really productive for the company in lieu of a person who is good for his own qualifications and responsibilities , thereof and does not concern his subordinates as unavoidable asset to the results produced by him.

I strongly support that the employees MUST decide the salary of CEO's and Senior Managers.

MY ARGUMENT for NO:

No doubt, employees form an important part of the the capital assets, known as Human Capital, of the company, BUT

1) If companies can make the Sun to start rising from the west, then they can make their employees to be involved in deciding the salaries of their Managers and CEOs.

2) Also, if the companies are the believers of the communism, they can do so.

3) Still further, if the companies are the believers that no command should remain there and the managers should not be made accountable for the productivity, they can go ahead with the proposed idea.

HOWEVER, the companies must start taking not only the feedback of their employees about the leadership qualities, attitudes, management capabilities and employee relationship, etc., to judge the leadership characteristics & traits of their managers and CEOs, but also get their active involvement in the decision-making process. BUT, it is neither advisable nor possible to make the employees decide about the salaries of their Managers & CEOs. Needless to mention, salaries of the CEOs are decided by the stake holders, i.e., the shareholders of the companies and he salaries of the managers are fixed by the Boar of Directors who are selected by the Shareholders.

If the employees are made to decide about the salaries of the CEOs and Managers, the question would arise, "WHO SHOULD DECIDE ON THE SALARIES OF THE EMPLOYEES?

Should the employees start deciding upon their own salaries, or the CEOs should decide upon the salaries of their employees?

I strongly support the argument. Also, a point to consider along with the argument is that the credentials/details of the employees, who are involved in such decisions, are kept confidential and positive actions are taken on the basis of the feedback, then ONLY the feedback will bring in good results. This will further help us in creating a good corporate world. Thanks for inviting, Renee!

I believe they should be. As time has changed employees are getting more involved in decision making and other business solution providing. The involvement of employees will put a check on excess salary drawings and make the top management people to do justification to their work.......

NO way, the CEO's and managers have a company to run and moreover their salaries are monitored by the shareholders and the market. Most employees will not have the expertise to do so and after all employees are not more important than the organisation.

I completely agree with Mr. Dhingra. Addition to the same argument, most of the people jumping jobs today only jump because they want more money. they dont even know their own capabilities and they dont even know if they are actually worth what they are asking for. They wanna jump cause someone in their group got a better package and they didnt; so what to do if this company is not giving me a better package? i will find someone who does. Not totally wrong but come on, you gotta sometimes thing why the company is not offering a better package to you and does to others? there has to be a reason right? and most of the times its logical. Now; coming back to the point, if these kinda people start deciding their bosses salary, the bosses/good loyal and intelligent staff will not be paid enough and will not be appreciated. Whats the point? and yeah, Politics in the corporate arena is no less then out in the open world. so i guess this is a bad bad suggestion/idea as its just gonna complicate the whole corporate environment to an extent that the workplace will always be a war zone ! (and my previous point in one of the arguments on too step was that employees always think they are better then their bosses, :))
