Merck KGaA Response

Thank you for highlighting the respectful culture, strong colleagues, and the benefits you experience in our company. We also take note of your perspective on base pay and the impact of mid-management changes. Compensation is reviewed with a view to internal equity and external market benchmarks, and leadership transitions should be accompanied by clear communication and support for teams. If you are comfortable, we encourage you to raise these points with your manager or HR, and to share feedback through our annual Employee Engagement Survey so we can identify where action is needed.
