CHICAGO (PRWEB)
July 07, 2023
According to President and CEO Yael Eckstein, “the Salary and Compensation Audit reflects our ongoing commitment to take financial accountability and good stewardship of our donors’ funds very seriously.”
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (The Fellowship or IFCJ) recently announced the results of their annual Salary and Compensation Audit by Willis Towers Watson (WTW), a leading global advisory, broking, and solutions company. WTW provides employers reliable, relevant, and timely salary survey data combined with global, regional, and local HR and benefits policies and practices reports to support pay, employee benefits, and HR professionals in making the best decisions for their workforce and their organization.
IFCJ retained Willis Towers Watson to conduct a comparable market assessment of total remuneration (cash compensation plus benefits) provided to four executive-level positions, including the President and CEO, examining base salary and total cash compensation levels (base salary plus annual incentive awards).
The Salary and Compensation Audit confirmed management’s expectations that The Fellowship’s salary and compensation practices are fair, reasonable, and comparable to similar organizations.
“At the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, we take financial accountability and good stewardship of our donors’ funds very seriously, and we ensure that salaries, including the salary of our President and CEO, Yael Eckstein, are fair within the nonprofit space and enable us to attract and retain the talent we need to best serve our community,” explained IFCJ Global Chief Operating Officer Robin Van Etten.
The market data used in this assessment included information that is:
Based on published and proprietary survey sources
Position specific, based on each position’s primary duties and responsibilities
Reflective of pay practices among nonprofit organizations for positions based in the U.S.
Size sensitive, based on IFCJ’s FY23 budgeted revenue
Updated to April 1, 2023, using an annualized adjustment factor of 3.5%, consistent with 2023 merit increase projections for non-profit executives
