Synthesis of Information Related to Airport Practices. Topic S06-09. Total Rewards for Airport Sponsor Employees

ACRP Synthesis 141 Total Rewards for Airport Sponsor Employees presents the state of practice regarding airport total rewards programs that help recruit and retain individuals who are essential to keeping an airport running, with a focus on frontline and supervisory staff. The synthesis includes information on challenges and opportunities that airports have found when developing or revising total rewards, and information on ways airports recruit and retain frontline and supervisory employees using total rewards. Total rewards include health benefits, well-being programs, learning and development, and recognition programs, as well as compensation. Under ACRP Synthesis Project 11-03/Topic S06-09 “Total Rewards for Airport Sponsor Employees,” Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University was asked to synthesize information to describe total rewards that airport sponsors use to attract and retain frontline and supervisor employees. Information used in this study was obtained through a literature review, a survey of airports, and interviews to develop case examples. Chapter 4 provides six case examples that highlight total rewards programs from airports with different governance structure, including airports governed by port authority, airport authority, city, and county. This synthesis is an immediately useful document that records the practices that were acceptable within the limitations of the knowledge available at the time of its preparation. As progress in research and practice continues, new knowledge will be added to that now at hand. The audience for this synthesis includes the human resource (HR) departments and executive-level leadership for airports.
