Topic Background:

Navigating the complex waters of executive compensation within U.S. corporations has become increasingly controversial due to the ongoing economic crisis and ensuing legislative mandates. Discontent on the part of shareholder activists and institutional investors may lead to negative votes from a governance group. Boards face numerous challenges and distractions when setting compensation strategy - from the outsized influence of external groups (such as proxy advisory firms, large investors and the government) to the weighting of short-term stock gains over long-term strategy. A clear understanding of issues such as say on pay votes, paycheck fairness and homogenization of executive pay is essential for HR leaders, compensation committees, boards and business leaders.
