Even before COVID-19 disrupted business as we know it, there were few board decisions that received more scrutiny than executive pay packages. And coming into 2020, oversight of human capital and culture was put under the microscope by all major institutional investors. 

The economic pain brought on by the global pandemic is far wider and deeper than anything the U.S. has seen since the Great Depression—further amplifying the complexities of executive pay and human capital decisions compensation committees must oversee. 

While the story is different for every industry—with different sectors impacted in different ways—there is no question that as we make our way out of the pandemic crisis, every board will have to rethink executive compensation in a new altered world. Join other public company directors to evaluate your compensation game plan for the future. 

Together, compensation committee members and veteran advisers will explore the approaches and consequences—both intended or otherwise—for near- and long-term executive pay and board pay adjustments. We’ll help you plan for different scenarios given the unknowns of the 2^nd wave of COVID and the long-term economic impact of decisions made during and after the spring crisis, while thinking through your messaging to key stakeholders to explain—and defend—your decisions. And, you’ll have an opportunity to share experiences and perspectives on delicate human capital issues, like handling mass layoffs and furloughs, bringing employees back into the workforce, maintaining culture through and out of a crisis, and demonstrating solidarity and shared sacrifice with your employees—the tone starts at the top in the boardroom. 

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to these complex decisions. Don’t miss this opportunity to glean unbiased advice, new tactics and tangible solutions to your biggest executive pay and human capital oversight-related questions for the year ahead.
