Why Total Rewards is Important to Your Organization

In the near future, an organization’s ability to attract, motivate and retain will emerge as the primary indicator of fiscal performance and survival. To that end, given the diverse workforce, organizations will be offering more variety in rewards as they try to access the best and brightest in a seller’s market. … For a diverse global workforce, no single reward element will be a value driver. There will be increased importance on the value proposition for individuals. (Kelley, Moore and Holloway, 2011)

Variable Pay: Incentives

Compensation that depends on some measure of performance or results in order to be awarded.

Incentive Pay

Individual Incentives Work Best When…

There are distinct, measurable outcomes for individual efforts.

Individual jobs require autonomy.

Group Incentives Work Best When…

We need people to cooperate.

Individual contributions are difficult to identify.

Members possess similar or complimentary skills.

Executive Compensation

What are the concepts discussed in the video that we have previously talked about?

Executive Compensation

Too Much or Just Enough?

Excesses in executive pay, (CEO’s pay increased while other employees took pay cuts and were laid off) resulted in questions about companies acting ethically and being socially responsible.

The practice harmed a large number of stakeholders (including employees and shareholders) in order to reward relatively few executives.

Resulted in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Executive Compensation

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010

Limits executive pay in public corporations and adds requirements for reporting of compensation and shareholder involvement with executive compensation.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010

Significant provisions:

Shareholders can vote on executives’ compensation packages (“say on pay”) and “golden parachutes”.

Every public company must disclose the CEO’s total compensation and the total median compensation of all employees, and the ratio.

All public firms must provide annual information on the relationship between executive compensation and the total shareholder return.

Incentive Pay

Executive Incentives

Should be designed to motivate the executive to make decisions that will benefit the organization over both the short and the long term.

Stock incentives.

Perquisites.

Short-term bonuses.

Long-term stock awards or options.

Incentive Pay

The Goal of Executive Compensation

To create a system that aligns the behavior of the executive with the interests of the owners of the firm by combining short and long-term incentives.
