Global Talent. Local Rules. Is Your Pay Governance Ready? | Farient Briefings

Global Talent. Local Rules. Is Your Pay Governance Ready?

 

Talent competes globally. Pay is still governed locally—by regulators, investors, and proxy advisors who follow different rules.

New research from Farient Advisors and the GECN Group, The World of Executive Compensation Has Shifted: What’s Next?, maps how major markets from the US and UK to Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East oversee executive pay—and what has changed since the group’s first study in 2017.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Where markets are converging—and where the rules still diverge
  • What earns investor support for tailored pay designs
  • The red flags that spark pay controversy in every market

What’s next? The research forecasts sharper, AI-enabled scrutiny of what executives actually earn. Boards that prepare now will be ready for the questions to come.
