What are we doing wrong with executive compensation? Partners Jared Berman and Jamie McGough of Meridian Compensation Partners talk about challenges and opportunities in this episode of The Executive Compensation Podcast. Jared has over 17 years of experience consulting on compensation strategies and pay philosophies, benchmarking, and plan design. Jamie has over 25 years of experience consulting and has done extensive work linking shareholder value to compensation programs. Meridian’s consultants challenge themselves regularly to reflect on how they can grow their expertise and advance the field. Jared and Jamie discuss common problems, explain the influence of historical trends and regulations on current practices, and outline alternative plans for unique circumstances. You’ll learn about how compensation plans can foster an owner mindset by focusing on long-term value generation, how proxy advisors react to alternative plans and influence Say-on-Pay outcomes, and what challenges and unexpected complications can arise when companies implement alternative strategies, like pay programs without annual incentives.
