Remuneration

Rewarding performance more simply

We don't talk about salaries, do we? But about remuneration systems. Properly designed, they create a cutting edge in the competition for talent and extra trust from clients and shareholders.

A good remuneration system must be able to achieve a lot. Win, motivate and retain talented people. Support the strategy and strengthen values. Today it also has to convince the public. 20% of the 100 largest companies worldwide complain that their shareholders lack trust in their remuneration policy – a good seven times more than before the crisis. The way forward requires change, but also simplification. Your competent companion: PwC.

Making executive pay work:
The psychology of incentives

This study is based on a research in conjunction with Dr Alexander Pepper at the London School of Economics and Political Science and looks at the views of 1,106 senior executives in 43 countries, within a wide range of senior roles, companies and industries. We analysed the responses of our participants by gender, by age and by country.

The results reveal a number of common behavioural traits, which show clearly that executives don’t necessarily think in the way that many incentive schemes assume.
