Former members of the American Compensation Assiociation are up in arms and fighting mad about our name change. Most people don't have a problem with the new "total reward" or "global" strategy...just with the name which continues to baffle and befuddle members.
World at Work claims to have surveyed "some" members in regards to the name change and received member input. As an organization created to serve its members, we feel members should have been given the opportunity to vote on OUR name change. In fact, we feel current WAW members should demand our Board give us the respect we deserve and let us vote on the name we want. We strongly feel the majority of WAW's membership does not support the new name...and this is our chance to prove it.
Can you honestly say you know more people who like the name than who do not? Can you even find anyone who does not work for WAW that claims to like the name? We neither. Clearly there is a disconnect between many members and WAW on this issue. Let's give WAW a shot to regain our confidence by giving members a vote in the name and the future image of our profession.
