Compensation and Benefits

Investing in You

The Compensation and Benefits Committee presents its annual report on Iowa State University’s compensation and benefits structure for professional and scientific (P&S) employees, focusing on key aspects for employee retention and wellbeing. 

Compensation and Benefits

The Compensation and Benefits Committee advocates for fair, competitive, and transparent compensation and benefits for Professional and Scientific employees. The committee reviews university policies, gathers employee feedback, and works to ensure that staff are supported through equitable pay, comprehensive benefits, and resources that promote overall wellbeing.

Each year, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Professional and Scientific Council prepares a report that highlights employee priorities, evaluates current compensation and benefits offerings, and provides recommendations to support the recruitment, retention, and well-being of Professional and Scientific employees. The report includes feedback from employee surveys, analysis of peer institution data, and a review of trends impacting workplace satisfaction and total rewards.
