We are an interdisciplinary center that researches, teaches, and communicates about monetary and non-monetary rewards from work, and how these rewards influence outcomes for individuals, companies, industries, and economies.
Aligned with over 60 academic research fellows around the globe, the Institute for Compensation Studies™ (ICS) at Cornell University's ILR School infuses the education, training and analysis we offer with innovative research and leading-edge insight.
