Managing Executive Compensation in A Complex World Working Group | Hosted by MetLife | November 13, 2018 | New York, NY
Tuesday | November 13, 2018
LOCATION: MetLife | 200 Park Avenue | New York, NY
Managing executive compensation in todays complex world requires that organizations design and structure their executive compensation programs in a way that is perceived as being fair and reasonable from the perspective of all stakeholders including executives, other employees, regulators, board members, institutional shareholders, independent advisors and the independent press. In this working group, we will discuss components of executive pay (including base pay, annual incentives, performance plans and equity-based pay) and examine how pay and performance can be most effectively linked. We will also explore how the various stakeholders interact in the decision-making process. We will discuss critical decisions made in the executive pay determination process and how organizations deal with the pressure applied by each of the constituent parties. We will also review how best to comply with securities laws, tax regulations, accounting standards and corporate governance organizations without diluting the intention of the executive compensation programs
Objectives
- Discuss existing and new components of executive pay and how to link to performance
- Share the design and effectiveness of different types of executive incentives
- Share challenges faced when dealing with various stakeholders in the structure and approval of executive compensation levels and design
- Discuss how executive compensation drives behavior and influences strategies, decisions and actions
- Uncover strategies the various parties to the decision process use to influence outcomes and promote their own priorities
