Context: The forces of change
“Societal tensions are rising” McKinsey Quarterly 2017
The impact of automation
The rising tide of progress has
not lifted all boats equally
From jobless growth
to less job growth
A licence to operate
A new societal deal
“CEOs will need to do more to embed
societies concerns in their business
principles” Unilever CEO Paul Polman
“To win in the marketplace you
must first win in the workplace"
Total workforce costs typically represent over 70% of
an organisation’s operating expense but 86% of
organisations are unaware of their total reward
package
Does pay really
drive performance?

responsibility to
create a better world

Ask yourself this…
Why do we have deferrals, claw-backs, EPWEV, MSRs, and malus? And conduct risk legislation
Does your remco review “performance” information?
Do you adjust ROE performance with no AFS recon?
Do your corporate executives understand their pay?
Do you remunerate as if they are entrepreneurs?
