Bank Compensation Workshop Session II: Pay & Performance Alignment
Shaun Bisman, Principal, Compensation Advisory Partners
Kelly Malafis, Founding Partner, Compensation Advisory Partners
Regulators, shareholders, executives and boards all agree that a key objective is to reward executives commensurate with performance. But that is easier said than done. Once programs are in place, how do you know if you have real alignment? How should programs be designed to ensure proper alignment? How do you know if there is appropriate pay and performance alignment? There are a variety of perspectives, approaches and views on this topic generating many challenges for banks today. This session provides practical methodologies participants can take back to monitor this important objective.
