The executive summary of Pearl Meyer’s annual planning survey, Pearl Meyer On Point: Looking Ahead to Executive Pay Practices, offers topline results. Additional data and analysis can be found in the full report. The 2017 planning survey provides insights on:
- Executive incentive practices, both annual and long-term incentives, with detail such as plan satisfaction, performance metrics, and goal-setting; and
- The CEO pay ratio disclosure and how companies are preparing for the forthcoming Dodd-Frank rule.
The survey reflects responses from over 230 companies, including 162 senior executives and 59 outside directors, and is summarized across several demographics including company size (revenues), form of ownership (public versus private), and primary role (employee versus outside director) and industry sector.
