A big difference in retention bonus offerings from 10 or 20 years ago is “secrets aren’t kept”. Some people in the past would disclose their pay rates or bonuses, but nowadays I find the numbers of people that will disclose bonus values is much much higher

If you are going to do them you need to be prepared to explain both why some people got them and others didn’t. Any why the value or structures were different. We have almost always been successful with them but I would no plan on them being totally secret

We’re currently reviewing our performance evaluation rating distribution and have noticed that some employee groups tend to receive lower scores compared to their peers.

How does your organization measure equity in performance ratings? What actions are you taking with leaders to ensure fairness and promote equitable outcomes?

We currently use a 5-pt overall performance rating but are considering expanding into separate "What" and "How" ratings. Does anyone use this or a similar dual ratings approach? Any advice?
