Managing Compensation and Recognition in a Multi-Pay-Plan Environment

Recognizing the need to recruit top-notch new employees and maintain a high-performing workforce, CDC asked the Academy to convene an expert Panel to objectively assess its employee cash award program and senior-level compensation system.

The Panel received input from more than 200 employees, managers, and labor union representatives across the country and around the world. In addition, the Panel reviewed the governance structure for these programs, analyzed compensation and award data, and mapped the agency’s use of flexible pay plans to fill its leadership positions in highly competitive fields.
