The Face of Compensation

Recognize and avoid compliance and business risks associated with various types of compensation arrangements.

Never in the history of company management has there been a greater array of challenges facing the board of directors, compensation committee, or owner that must determine how and what to pay company executives. Inflation, regulation, supply chain interruptions, and increased shareholder demand that the executive's compensation actually reflect the executive's performance (and, in turn, shareholder return on investment) all coalesce to create an environment full of conflicting expectations and obligations. Talented executives are hard to find and keep. It is difficult to set performance expectations and compensation triggers when forces outside the executive's control may negatively impact company profitability and owner investment returns. This topic will help those that create, administer, and advise compensation committees, company boards of directors, and owners on executive pay. This presentation will help the compensation administrator assure directors, compensation committee members, and shareholders that money paid to the executive will actually help retain and incentivize the executive and fairly reflect the executive's job performance.
