ASML CEO FACES A HIGH - STAKES TEST : CHRISTOPHE FOUQUET BETS HIS PAY ON HAPPIER WORKERS AFTER A MAJOR CORPORATE SHAKE - UP

What happened: ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet is tying executive bonuses and long-term rewards to employee feedback, using six survey questions to form a new Workplace Experience Index. Key numbers: Engagement index fell to 73.5 per cent from 78 per cent a year earlier. Survey drew responses from more than 38,000 of about 44,000 employees. Why it matters: The move follows a restructuring that changed jobs, managers and responsibilities, and the drop in staff satisfaction suggests the changes may be taking a toll on morale. ASML has not said how much pay will depend on the feedback.
