When faced with uncertainty and changing business conditions, your organization’s most critical asset – talent – is at its highest risk of loss or demotivation. Companies may not realize their employees’ full potential or worse, risk losing the "difference makers" because they fail to adapt existing compensation systems to new business realities. As a consequence, people become disengaged and vulnerable to turnover. In addition, compensation plans that work in a stable market can have unintended consequences in more volatile conditions, creating a disconnect between pay and actual results. The prospect of reduced or zero value from the stock option plan can drive inappropriate risk-taking while creating retention issues. Join us for a webinar that covers what is going on now in equity-based compensation – types of incentives, addressing underwater options - within technology companies and action steps you might consider.

Please join other technology company CEOs, CFOs, COOs, Presidents, Vice-Presidents, and Human Resources professionals as we discuss key components of a successful executive compensation strategies.
