Question

XYZ Inc. pursues a low-cost strategy in its industry and generally needs lower skilled employees. As a result, their management team decided to establish a compensation policy that pays less than the marketplace. In recent years, the company became susceptible to labor shortages and high turnover. Which kind of pay level policy does XYZ Inc. follow? Group of answer choices
A) market match
B) market lag
C) market lead
D) market pay line

Answer 1

Answer:

B) market lag

Explanation:

Every profession usually has an average remuneration price, which is considered the market price. Some companies seeking more skilled workers offer compensation above market salary, others, such as the low-cost company XYZ, offer salaries below market level. This strategy is called a market lead. Companies with market lead policies often have higher employee turnover, as finding a higher-paying job tends to change jobs.
