Ford Motor Co. (F, Financials) will reduce annual bonuses for half of its middle management employees in a move the company describes as an effort to enhance performance-based compensation, Reuters said in a report, citing sources.
The choice falls amid budget constraints and possible interruptions from changes in U.S. trade policy.
According to a Ford spokesman, the corporation wants to pay staff members according to their contributions to corporate success. Jim Farley, the chief executive officer, has underlined in past times the need for performance-oriented incentives to retain top staff and increase output.
Ford’s executive compensation is linked to corporate-wide performance including sales, profitability, and car quality. Over the last year, the manufacturer has had operational difficulties including less than projected fourth-quarter results. Given these financial challenges, bonuses were expected to be reduced already.
The corporation is also ready for any interruptions resulting from changes in American trade regulations. Farley has cautioned that a 25% tax on items imported from Mexico and Canada might seriously affect the U.S. car industry, therefore influencing Ford’s cost structure and supply chain.
Citing many difficulties, including a faltering electric car sector, ongoing warranty problems, increasing competitiveness from foreign manufacturers, and increased price incentives that might squeeze profits, Ford provided cautious projection for fiscal year 2025.
The statement set off a sell-off in Ford’s shares. As of 1:57 p.m. GMT-5, Ford’s stock was trading Tuesday at $9.24.
