Unlike the financial benefits of reducing labor costs, the financial benefits of profit sharing, realized gradually through greater employee engagement and reduced turnover, are difficult to measure, uncertain, and unlikely to have an immediate effect on earnings per share, a major determinant of executive compensation. It is unsurprising, therefore, that the advantages of profit-sharing are undervalued by many companies, especially those that focus on short-term success metrics.
与降低劳动力成本的财务收益不同，利润分享的财务收益通过提高雇员参与度、降低跳槽率逐渐实现，这一收益难以测量、不确定，也不可能对每股收益（高管薪酬的主要决定因素）立刻产生效果。因此，毫不奇怪利润分享的优势被许多公司低估，特别是那些专注于短期成功指标的公司。
