Creative approach to performance measurement and pay plan design

How Farient changed the game

Farient was engaged by the Compensation Committee of the Board of this Fortune 1000 manufacturing company to develop a new compensation strategy and short- and long-term incentive plans geared to their global growth strategy.

Improving Pay and Performance Alignment

Good. Better. Best. How Farient designed a best approach to goal-setting

Since going public, this Fortune 1000 company had a pay program that was pretty straightforward…
consisting of base salary, a bonus opportunity contingent largely upon meeting corporate profit objectives, and stock options. Like so many other companies, this client stated in its proxy report that one of its compensation goals was to align the interests of executives with those of shareholders.

Pay and Risk—Avoid rolling the dice

The Compensation Committee of this large publicly-traded company engaged Farient to obtain a better understanding of whether its executive compensation program might encourage excessive risk-taking.
