Interpreting Your Scores
0 to 5. Pay may be an issue for this team, and it is a subject that can become corrosive if not attended to. Individuals are likely to be feeling unfairly treated, and this needs addressing. Many individuals may have little incentive to enhance their performance.
6 to 10. The basics of a fair pay scheme appear to be in place to ensure that the team feels adequately rewarded. There may be issues related to perceived fairness. You also need to investigate whether any funds being fed into variable compensation are paying back.
11 to 15. Your team appears to have rewarding and incentivizing performance in hand. You may have or you may be close to achieving SuperTeam status. But you are advised to check on whether the processes you have really do work.
