Ford Motor Co. contributed $400 million to its worldwide pension plans in the second quarter ended June 30, according to an 8-K the company filed Friday, July 23, with the SEC.

Spokesman John Stoll said company officials weren’t breaking out the amount contributed to its U.S. plans, with combined assets of $38.4 billion. Ford’s non-U.S. plans had a combined $17.5 billion. Both totals are as of December 31; Stoll said more recent figures weren’t available.

In the first quarter ended March 31, Ford contributed $500 million worldwide, according to its 10-Q issued May 7. For 2010, Ford expects to contribute $1.5 billion to its worldwide plans, the 10-Q said.

In 2009, Ford contributed $136 million to its U.S. plans and $968 million to its non-U.S. plans, according to a 10-K report Ford filed February 25.

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
