Hay Group : Strategies for executive compensation in today’s dramatically changing environment

Hay Group : Strategies for executive compensation in today’s dramatically changing environment

The Directors Roundtable, June 2009, Boston

Executive compensation is a critical issue both for board compensation committees granting compensation packages and for executives receiving them. The new administration is proposing major changes in executive compensation. They include higher taxes; shareholder voting on pay packages; broader disclosure; tougher enforcement; and control over bonuses in companies receiving government funds.

Executives are concerned about total compensation, salary, bonuses, clawbacks, performance incentives, benefits, retirement, and golden parachutes. Thus, Boards are challenged to balance the need to attract and retain talented top management; deal with the demands of activist shareholders; and comply with the disclosure and enforcement requirements by the SEC and Congress. These distinguished speakers will share their expertise regarding these key issues and recommend strategies and best practices based on their experiences in the boardroom.

Hay Group will present its recent findings from The Wall Street Journal/Hay Group CEO Compensation Study. The Directors Roundtable is a civic group which organizes the preeminent worldwide programming for Directors and their advisors. Appreciation is given to Hay Group for making available their thought leadership materials at www.haygroup.com/wsj.
