This session will explore recent trends in the use of these features as well as case studies so you can see how firms are using these features in their latest fiscal year and the impact they’ve had over plan payouts. The session will also offer a five step action plan for boards and human resources professionals to consider and follow when adding a new exotic performance feature to their compensation plan design.
