1. 2 in 3 Flemish employees in favour of pay increases based on their performance

   Flemish employees are only moderately satisfied with their pay. Mobility budget can be a crucial element in increasing their satisfaction. Moreover, Flemish employees have also proven to be in favour of determining their increases in fixed pay by their individual performance. Vlerick Business School and vacature.com came to this conclusion following a survey of 3,622 salaried Flemish employees.

2. Belgian CEOs earn 35% less than German CEOs

   Belgian senior managers do not earn less than their colleagues in the Netherlands, France, Sweden and Switzerland. However there is a significant difference of up to 40% in comparison to the salaries of CEOs from companies in Germany and the United Kingdom. Moreover, the current remuneration practices fail to sufficiently encourage business leaders to pay attention to environmental matters and to the long-term creation of shareholder value. These are the key conclusions of the annual study of top salaries by Vlerick Business School’s Executive Remuneration Research Centre.
