This book provides new perspectives on board governance and rewards practices that include the relationships between director’s roles, contributions, and firm performance. Through these insights readers can reconsider the complexity and interconnectivity of board governance and rewards. This book is founded on extensive research of a 1,000 company sample that uniquely replicates the publicly traded companies in the United States.

In this book we make the case for the genesis of the problem being that many CEOs are not operating under a “fair and reasonable value exchange” with the organization that they work for, and that there are very clear reasons why that is the case. We know you will gain insight from this book finding new ways to view, consider, and reframe your approach to CEO (and other executive) employment relationships consisting of compensation programs and contracts using the all-important concept of value exchange. Using a principled approach, appropriate tools, well thought out processes, and competent advisors you can’t go too far wrong.

When it comes to creating an executive compensation program, it can be hard to provide the company’s leaders with the incentive they need to continue doing their best, without becoming too extravagant. This book gives readers the techniques and understanding they need to design a rewards strategy that will motivate performers while benefiting the entire organisation. Taking a careful look at the complicated state of executive rewards, this no-nonsense, practical guide provides readers with a complete methodology for motivating management to accomplish critical business goals. Instead of a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, the book uses case studies and examples to illustrate what factors should be considered – including corporate environment, key stakeholders, people and business strategy, and organizational capabilities – when designing a program that will benefit both their company, and the people who fuel its success.

Salary, bonuses, benefits and “perks” may be the most visible elements of a rewards program, but other components are just as valuable to employees. This comprehensive book and CD-ROM package shows how nonfinancial rewards can be quantified and combined with monetary measures in a way that complements business objectives.

The authors’ eye-opening research on what employees value is backed up by examples from their own consulting experience. The book’s step-by-step process features more than 100 practical tools for developing an “M3″ rewards system based on money, mix, and message, and provides a blueprint for creating a custom-tailored rewards strategy to match an organizations specific goals.
