[14:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Dear Colleagues,
[14:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	Since 2018, an annual announcement has been made on the intranet regarding the outcome of the rewards exercise. Included in the announcement is a document providing the detailed statistics related to the distribution of the rewards among various groupings of staff, including DG, job group, gender, colleagues on maternity leave, part-timers, newcomers, etc. The staff representation repeatedly asked for more granularity than DG level
[14:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	 in the rewards statistics. However, the administration argued that this was not possible for data protection reasons. At a time when Directorates have reached around 200 members in DG1 and Teams are growing, data protection should not be an issue anymore.
[14:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	The recent change in the rewards exercise, from a single annual event, to three rewards events during the year, has seen a change toward the negative. The announcement for the awards for the first round and second round of strategic bonuses of 2023, and the first bonus round of 2024 have been notably missing any statistics at all. This is of concern, because without sharing this data, staff are left to make their own assumptions ab
[14:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	out the distribution and fairness.
[14:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	In this open letter to the President, we have three requests:
[14:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	    That the detailed statistics continue to be published on the intranet, including for the new bonus reward rounds, past and future
[14:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	    That the average value of the bonus is included for the disaggregated data
[14:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	    That more granularity at Directorate and Team level is provided
[14:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	Sincerely yours,
[14:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	"
