Bank Compensation Consulting Services
The banking industry faces a multitude of compensation challenges. Along with a fragile economy and increasing shareholder activism, banks today must adapt programs to growing list of new legislative and regulatory requirements. What was acceptable practice in the past is no longer best practice going forward. Banks are expected to address emerging requirements, particularly those related to the management of incentive plan risk; clawbacks; severance arrangements; and performance-based pay programs. In addition, boards and compensation committees face increased accountability, disclosure and governance expectations. These changes have made it increasingly difficult for all banks to attract, motivate and retain key members of their senior management teams and build effective boards.
At a time when banks need customized, insightful and effective compensation consulting services more than ever, PM&P offers an unparalleled level of expertise and experience in the design and administration of compensation programs.
