For those coming to next week’s “Pay Ratio & Proxy Disclosure Conference,” you’ll hear tidbits about the hot “employee reaction” topic all day long – but particularly during the panel entitled “Pay Ratio: How to Handle PR & Employee Fallout.” Recently, as noted in this press release, Willis Towers Watson found that this was the topic of largest concern when it surveyed companies. Here’s an excerpt:

Indeed, roughly half of the respondents polled (49%) cited forecasting how their employees will react to the ratio disclosure as their number one challenge, but that other challenges still loom. About four in 10 (39%) said determining the consistently applied compensation measure (CACM) is their great challenge followed by getting accurate pay data (38%), deciding how to craft their required disclosure (37%) and determining where their pay ratio stands compared with that of their peers, their industry and the market (35%).
