What are companies doing with regards to 'Fair Deal'

Learn about the Factors Effect Model

Fair Deal - How happy employees are with pay and benefits

Fair Deal itself doesn’t directly influence another factor. It’s classified as a hygiene factor. Sure, doubling everybody’s salary would make them happy but it wouldn’t make them feel any better about factors such as leadership and management.

Now although pay is not an engager, it is important that pay and benefits are at the right level as to not disengage employees further.
