Remuneration should be fair and defensible. Communicating pay plans requires transparency and clarity.
Simplicity vs. complexity. In essence, remuneration is a window into the boardroom. Shareholders want to understand the process used to arrive at the pay program. Did the organization change its strategy? Was there a retention concern? Were the performance measures appropriate for market changes? Shareholders are looking for proof points to support committee decisions.
The GECN Group provides compensation risk assessment covering executive and broad-based incentive plans
Our view is that companies are in business to take risks, so pay plans should not encourage undue risk taking relative to the objectives of the business model and strategy. We have the capability to conduct this assessment on both a quantitative basis (i.e., evaluating the consistency between business and compensation risk through our Quantitative Risk Assessor™) and a qualitative basis (i.e., evaluating the compensation system within a broad context of market norms and governance standards).
The GECN Group uses deep analytics to help clients address their executive remuneration and human capital issues.
Our world-class proprietary models, analytics, and research enable us to identify the root causes of thorny problems and develop effective solutions. The GECN Group’s innovative and customized processes turn our diagnostic findings into action. We know that market gyrations impact talent, affect performance, and the cultural aspect of making employees feel valued. We help organizations create competitive advantage by anticipating what's coming, and focusing on talent recruitment and development.
No one likes surprises, especially investors and proxy advisors.
Preparation goes a long way in gaining their support. We work with clients to nurture proactive outreach. Investors want to understand the decision-making that resulted in the pay plans. In good times and bad, the opportunity to explain the committee's position and the choices it made should never be missed.
