With governance issues increasing, the attractiveness of stock options diminishing and compensation budgets being squeezed by cost-of-labor issues, getting the right dollars to the right people has never been more challenging. Watson Wyatt can help you deliver the right portfolio of rewards to attract, retain and motivate high-performing employees.
The Right Solutions
What mix of rewards offers the best return on your compensation investment? What’s the best way to align pay with performance? Without a competitive total rewards package, you risk losing your top performers and critical-skill employees to your competition as the job market firms. We help you find the right mix of total rewards to motivate and retain your best employees so you keep your competitive edge.
Today, the attractiveness of using stock options to reward both executives and broad-based employees has diminished. With the new accounting standard requiring companies to expense stock options, it’s more important than ever to find cost-effective ways to compensate and motivate employees. We are helping clients take a portfolio approach to stock incentives — including restricted stock, performance shares and stock purchase plans — in addition to or in lieu of stock options. This shareholder-friendly approach decreases accounting costs and increases the perceived value delivered to employees. Additionally, to help ensure your compliance, we have developed a proprietary valuation model that addresses the distinctive features of employee stock options.
Drawing on the deep expertise of consultants throughout the firm, we design and deliver integrated solutions that meet your precise needs. We look at the big picture — not just compensation and benefits, but career growth and corporate culture as well.
Working closely with you, we deliver compensation consulting services that:
- Find the right balance between motivating employees and controlling costs
- Allocate limited resources to rewards that produce the greatest value
- Strengthen the connection between compensation and pay-for-performance through improved performance management
- Ensure that your compensation plans are linked to your business strategies
