The CHiPS Long Term Incentive Report is the most comprehensive source of information about both equity and equity-like long term incentive practices within the technology industry.

Long term incentive practices are undergoing extraordinarily rapid changes. The CHiPS Long Term Incentive Report takes direct aim at this important area of compensation and provides you with vital information on both equity and equity-like long term incentive practices.

The CHiPS Long Term Incentive Report is the only in-depth source of information for the technology industry that details not only the overall value of LTI awards – but provides you with insight regarding the use of restricted stock versus stock options.

Using a combination of incumbent-based survey information from the CHiPS family of surveys and information derived from publicly available sources, Pearl Meyer & Partners has produced a report designed to provide the essential competitive information necessary to design and evaluate your organization's equity strategy and plans.
