The Evolution of Pay for Performance – shareholder vigilance or apathy?
Several years into a period of formal, quantitative pay-for-performance (PfP) tests, as defined by ISS and Glass Lewis, are we better off? That is, are we seeing better alignment of realized/realizable executive compensation with firm performance? And, are firms with better PfP also performing better?
Join us for a point/counterpoint discussion on the evolution of pay-for-performance theory, practice, and outcomes. Additional questions we will address include:
- For better or for worse, how are the pay-for-performance tests affecting publicly traded firms?
- What are firms doing when results of the ISS and Glass Lewis tests are unsatisfactory?
- Are there any silver bullets in best metrics or design to maintain PfP alignment?
- Should boards of directors be thinking about PfP beyond the current framework of three years and relative total shareholder return?
