Our Thinking / Career / Executive Rewards Perspective

In light of the ongoing scrutiny of executive rewards, companies should regularly assess all elements of executive remuneration to ensure executive pay and benefits support the attraction and retention of executives, yet minimize risk to the company. Executive benefits, particularly nonqualified retirement plans, can play a core role in an executive’s total compensation package and should be evaluated regularly.
This Perspective explores each of these key steps and discusses actions that employers can take to achieve responsible executive benefits practices while maximizing the return on investment from these programs.
