Balancing TSR as a Long-term Incentive
“…TSR is not an automatic decision…”
–Pete Lupo, Managing Director and Office Head, New York
Make Compensation a Powerful Catalyst
For nearly three decades, Pearl Meyer has acted as independent, outside counsel to thousands of compensation committees and management teams in both public and private companies. Our senior consultants work with clients to help them transform executive compensation from a cost of doing business into a performance-driven tool to increase shareholder value and competitive advantage.
We believe that executive compensation can be a catalyst to help you achieve your business goals and support the execution of your strategy. Our consulting advice is designed around the requirements of your unique situation. We work closely with you to understand your business and leadership strategies, culture, and industry dynamics. We believe that external pay practices and compliance considerations play a role in influencing your compensation strategy, however, business and human capital objectives should drive your program design.
Together, we create compensation solutions that help you attract and retain the best people and maximize shareholder value.
