When conducting executive compensation assignments, we strive to:

  • Focus on the creation of shareholder value. We develop performance objectives and design programs that provide incentives for executives to make decisions that create value for shareholders.
  • Take an integrated approach to executive rewards design. We look at how the full range of rewards elements — from salary and short- and long-term incentives to benefits, career and leadership opportunities — work together in the context of company strategy, the individual’s needs and broad reward philosophy. This approach helps maximize your total investment in executive talent and maintain the appropriate level of competitiveness for business and labor market needs.
  • Combine strategic perspective with technical expertise. We believe compensation program design should rely on rigorous financial, strategic and competitive compensation analyses to ensure an appropriate focus for management decision-making. We support this strategic perspective with strong technical skills and up-to-the-minute knowledge of compensation design and delivery approaches, tax and accounting issues.
  • Invest continually in new intellectual capital. The pace of change in business demands equally rapid development of new tools and approaches to improved performance and rewards management. Examples include innovations in performance measures, standard setting, incentive plans tied to value creation and total wealth-leveraging techniques.
  • Emphasize effective communication. We work with you to determine how changes in pay programs will be implemented and communicated in order to be most effective. We are also a leader in the use of Web technology in communicating rewards programs for both executives and employees.
