Non-Executive Director Remuneration
Striking the Right Beat with Board Pay is Part Science, Part Art
Non-Executive Directors continue to devote more time and energy in their roles given the expansion of board committee remits. With the rise of activist investors from all corners of the world, we can count on more board members being “voted off the island,” which adds reputational risk to an already challenging job. Increased demands coupled with the unique requirements of each board means that director pay should be fair, but not egregious.
Board of Directors’ remuneration, including its strategy, level, and execution sets the tone for both investors and management on what matters. Farient Advisors provides unparalleled services to keep Board of Directors’ remuneration defensible and balanced. From board peer reviews to developing remuneration programs to board evaluations, we have worked with numerous companies across industries to make board pay relevant to the market, fair to board members, and a non-event for onlookers.
This service includes:
Non-Executive Director remuneration needs to appropriately balance shareholders’ interest with competitive market forces to attract qualified NEDs

Director remuneration should incorporate the desired pay strategy and align with the company’s business strategy
