In accounting and contractual law, "golden hello" is a term used for several different arrangements:
A payment made to induce an employee to take up employment from a specific employer[1] in form of a welcome package[2] or a payment from a rival employer to entice the employee to leave the other company.[3]
A hiring company may spend millions of dollars for a golden hello package,[3] hoping the poached executive generates more benefits for them than the cost of bonuses.[3] Following the financial crisis of 2008–2009, such compensation methods have become controversial.[6]
If the payment rate is rightedit
It's difficult to make the payment rate be an incentive for employees.[7] Generally, employees who are senior-level receive higher golden hellos than entry-level or mid-level employees, considering the skills, experience and talent for specific positions.[7]
Attracting talented recruitmentedit
In a study by Aerotek and the Human Capital Institute, 46% of professionals (570) at companies said that the best way to attract senior-level employees is bonuses.[8][9] Employers can offer a one-time signing bonus or promise a specific timeline for raises to salaries.[9]
Building trust between employee and new hireedit
Golden Hello build the foundation for a positive relationship between an employer and a new employee.[9] The study indicated that trust is built between employers and new hire when employers offer signing bonuses.[10] This is also incentive for new employers to work harder.[10]
Golden hello for academiesedit
In the UK, a golden hello is financial incentive,[11] not for executives, but for attracting graduates in STEM[5] (science, technology, engineering and maths) into teaching in a maintained secondary school.[12]
The scholarships, funded by Department of Education, were introduced in 2011 and are offering £30,000[13] for graduates with a good degree in physics, chemistry, computing or maths in 2016/17.
According to the document of National College for Teaching and Leadership, golden hello is only available to teachers "who trained through a postgraduate initial teacher training (ITT) course leading to qualified teacher status (QTS)".[12][14] Teachers must meet the training, teaching and application criteria, in order to be eligible for golden hello payment.[12]
Golden hello for high-ranking executivesedit
In the United States, golden hellos are typically offered to high-ranking executives by major corporations and may be valued in the millions of dollars.[15] They are said to have become "larger and more common" starting around the mid 1990s.[16][17]
