The 2015 National Management Salary Survey conducted by the Chartered Management Institute and XpertHR found that 45% of underperforming senior managers received bonuses averaging £8,873. Additionally, while overall manager salaries increased above inflation in 2015, the survey found that employers continue to reward poor performance and face difficulties with recruitment and retention due in part to skills shortages.
