Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Decades ago, Max De Pree the former CEO of Herman Miller, walked in on a conversation his employees were having about the size of De Pree’s pay. They challenged him about the huge disparity between his compensation and the average worker at Herman Miller.
From that discussion Max’s established a policy that the CEO compensation could not exceed twenty times the average wage of the factory line workers.
Each situation warrants a different conclusion but at least De Pree addressed the inequities.
James 5:4 teaches “Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty”
God listens to those who have been treated unfairly. Do you have any compensation inequities that need to be addressed?
