Is Your Executive Compensation Strategy Aligned?

Executive compensation and benefits are under greater scrutiny than ever. Today’s CEOs and executive teams manage a complex network of employees, partners, and investors, impacting both communities and the environment. Their compensation is closely examined by shareholders, politicians, the media, employees, suppliers, and customers alike.
