It is part of a set of process efficiency measures that help companies optimize their "reward and retain employees" process by minimizing waste and refining resource consumption.

Key Terms
Middle management/specialist refers to managers with budgetary and/or supervisory responsibility who report to senior management and/or line managers. Typically they would have supervisors and/or line managers report to them. This staff level also includes specialists. Sample titles might include functional vice president, function/department manager, and process/line manager.
Senior management/executive refers to the highest-ranking officers and the managers below executives. These managers would typically have several managers reporting to them and have functional or business unit responsibility. Sample titles might include CxO, Executive vice president, Director, and Sr. Vice President.
For the purpose of this study, operational workers/office staff refers to all employees who do not have any management responsibility. For example, this would include white-collar non managerial employees.

The metric value which represents the 50th percentile of a peer group.
