Perspectives
Commentary on people, performance and reward
Observations from active advisory work across sectors, with analysis of reward regulation, governance standards and the balance between financial incentives and organisational culture.
Current briefings
Three areas under review
Themes we return to most often when working with boards, remuneration committees and HR leaders.
Governance
Executive compensation
How remuneration committees weigh fixed pay, variable incentives and long-term alignment when shaping executive reward policy.
Measurement
Performance metrics
Choosing measures that reflect what the organisation genuinely needs, and avoiding targets that reward the wrong behaviour.
Retention
Talent retention
Connecting reward design, career progression and culture so that the people the business most depends on have reasons to stay.
