欧洲市值最高公司的首席执行官将自己的薪酬与一项提振员工士气的个人使命挂钩。据《商业内幕》独家获得的一份致员工备忘录,荷兰科技公司ASML首席执行官克里斯托夫·富凯上周表示,公司将把员工满意度纳入高管薪酬策略,以平息因大规模重组引发的不满。富凯此举是针对一项年度调查结果作出的回应,该调查覆盖了ASML约4.4万名员工中的3.8万余人。《商业内幕》看到的调查结果显示,ASML的员工敬业度指数——衡量员工满意度的一个指标——从去年的78%下降至今年的73.5%。
The CEO of Europe's most valuable company is linking his pay to a personal mission to boost employee morale. Christophe Fouquet, the CEO of Dutch tech firm ASML, said last week that the company will incorporate employee satisfaction into its compensation strategy for top executives in an effort to quell discontent over a major reorganization, per a memo to employees obtained exclusively by Business Insider. Fouquet was responding to the results of an annual survey that polled more than 38,000 of ASML's roughly 44,000 employees. The survey results, seen by Business Insider, show that ASML's employee engagement index — a measure of worker satisfaction — fell from 78% last year to 73.5% this year.
在备忘录中,富凯表示,员工敬业度评分的下降“反映了一个重大变革时期”,并承认对公司而言这是“充满动荡和情绪波动的一年”。他补充说,ASML高管团队在调查中挑出了六个问题,将其整合为一个新的“工作场所体验指数”,并将其纳入公司面向高管薪酬的长期激励计划。富凯写道:“在未来几年,这将直接影响包括管理委员会在内的高级领导人的薪酬。”他还表示,强化企业文化、巩固公司价值观将是他明年的个人重中之重。ASML拒绝置评。
In the memo, Fouquet said that the declining employee engagement scores "reflect a period of significant change" and acknowledged that it had been a "disruptive and emotional year" for the company. He added that ASML's executive team had highlighted six questions in the survey and combined them into a new Workplace Experience Index, which would be incorporated into the company's Long-Term Incentive plan for executive compensation. "In the coming years, it will directly influence the remuneration of senior leaders, including the Board of Management," Fouquet wrote, adding that strengthening the company's culture and reinforcing its values would be a personal priority in the coming year. ASML declined to comment.
这六个问题包括:员工是否感觉可以无惧报复地表达意见,以及是否对ASML高级领导团队有信心。员工还将就以下方面接受调查:是否清楚理解自己的角色、是否认为团队运作高效且组织良好、以及是否感觉直属经理关心自己作为一个个体。
The six questions include whether employees feel they can share their opinions without fear of retaliation and if they have confidence in ASML's senior leadership team. Employees will also be polled on whether they have a clear understanding of their role, whether they think their teams are operating efficiently and are well organized, and whether they feel their direct manager shows they care about them as an individual.
此举正值全球唯一能够制造先进 EUV(极紫外)光刻机的企业 ASML 试图通过全面的组织架构重组来精简官僚主义。该公司于 1 月宣布,可能裁减 1700 个职位,以减少管理层级并聚焦工程研发。此前《商业内幕》报道的泄露文件显示,这些正在进行的举措重点在于减少公司管理人员数量。公司随后表示,预计裁员人数将少于最初计划。
It comes as ASML, the only firm on the planet capable of building the advanced EUV lithography machines critical for chipmakers like TSMC and Intel, attempts to slash bureaucracy with a sweeping org chart reorganization. ASML announced in January that it could cut 1,700 jobs to reduce management layers and focus on engineering. Leaked documents previously reported by Business Insider show that these ongoing efforts have focused on reducing the number of managers at the company. The company later said it expected to cut fewer jobs than initially planned.
大型企业将高管薪酬与员工满意度挂钩的做法并不常见,但也非绝无仅有。IBM 和 Aviva 等公司此前曾将员工敬业度纳入高管薪酬考核指标。然而,ASML 的这一决定却与大型科技公司的文化风向背道而驰,后者中一些公司开启了无情的裁员潮,并推行“硬核”工作模式,要求员工延长工时。Meta 是这一推行的早期、显著领军者,自 2023 年扎克伯格的“效率之年”开始,经历了一系列裁员,去年更是裁减了“低绩效员工”。
Major companies tying executive pay to employee satisfaction is uncommon, but not unheard of. Companies like IBM and Aviva have previously included employee engagement in their compensation targets for top executives. ASML's decision, however, runs counter to the cultural winds of Big Tech, which have seen some companies embark on relentless layoffs and push employees to work longer hours as part of a "hardcore" working shift. Meta was an early, prominent leader of this push, with a series of layoffs that began in 2023 during Mark Zuckerberg's "year of efficiency" and, last year, cutting "low performers."
首席技术官 Andrew Bosworth 曾建议,不同意公司发展方向的员工应“考虑去别处工作”。此后,高管们在内部承认 Meta 的效率推行过头了,Bosworth 告诉员工,公司士气几乎降至历史最低点。
CTO Andrew Bosworth at one point suggested that employees who disagreed with the company's direction should "consider working elsewhere." Executives have since acknowledged internally that Meta went too far with its efficiency push, with Bosworth telling workers that morale at the company was almost the worst it has ever been.
Fouquet 致员工的备忘录发布几天前,ASML 刚刚上调 2026 年销售预期,并承诺加速生产其独特的光刻机,因为 AI 热潮引发了需求激增。该公司的机器对于生产用于训练和运行 AI 模型的先进半导体至关重要,AI 数据中心的快速建设已推动 ASML 股价今年上涨 45%。
Fouquet's memo to employees came days before ASML raised its 2026 sales forecast and pledged to accelerate production of its unique lithography machines as the AI boom fuels surging demand. The company's machines are vital for producing the advanced semiconductors used to train and run AI models, and the rapid buildout of AI data centers has pushed ASML's shares up 45% this year.
荷兰公司ASML的一位主要潜在客户是埃隆·马斯克,他正争分夺秒在得克萨斯州建设一座名为“Terafab”的大型半导体工厂。《商业内幕》此前报道,马斯克曾于6月在ASML的一场内部员工大会上通过视频演示推介Terafab,该项目由特斯拉和SpaceX联合开展。您是否在ASML工作并有相关信息可提供?请通过Signal联系本记者(tcarter.41)或发送邮件至tcarter@businessinsider.com。请使用个人邮箱和非工作设备;点击此处查看我们的安全爆料指南。
One major prospective customer for the Dutch firm is Elon Musk, who is racing to build a massive semiconductor factory dubbed "Terafab" in Texas. Business Insider previously reported that Musk gave a virtual presentation to a private ASML employee conference in June to pitch Terafab, which is a joint project by Tesla and SpaceX.
