In follow-up to the recent post on college graduate starting salaries, this post also features data from NACE's (National Association of Colleges and Employers) Winter 2017 Salary Survey and highlights starting salaries for master's degree graduates.
In the first table, we show average starting salaries by major in alpha order.
In the second table, same starting salary data, we group the majors into their general areas.
Happy salary setting!
Core values and value statements have a long history but a somewhat mixed track record in the organizational realm. More than one management team has discovered - the hard way - that it is much easier to talk the value talk than walk the value walk.
This matters to us, because organizational values should provide us with important direction about where and how reward dollars should be spent. Organizations become what they reward - and if the stated values lack the backing to influence reward decisions, their ability to shape culture and behavior will be compromised.
So why do our values tend not to stick? In my Compensation Cafe article Are Your Values Sticky?, I highlight one of the key reasons that so many organizational value systems - the inspiring words inscribed on the web site and touted in press releases - end up as mere window dressing. And sometimes worse.
