They are valued by management for their forward thinking and expertise, bolstering stability and support to take companies to the next level.

Governing Executive Pay Strategy in an Era of Business Transformation

Executive pay has long been a subject of scrutiny and headlines, with directors under ever-increasing pressure to govern executive pay decisions soundly. With business transformation now a near-constant factor, it’s critical to lead this work in an effective and thoughtful way.

Join Willis Towers Watson leader Don Delves and Directors & Boards Magazine Publishing Director, David Shaw, for a FREE webinar at 2 p.m. Sept. 20. During the webcast, participants will be given a comprehensive set of overarching standards designed to support the governance and design of executive compensation. These principles, based on the input of hundreds of corporate board members, offer a blueprint for assessing and designing executive pay programs and making decisions according to a carefully defined set of attributes.
