The Conference Board
Executive Compensation in a Disruptive World
Dana Etra, Stephen Hom
Executive compensation is designed to provide the opportunity for attendees to expand their thinking on the interconnected challenges in governance, corporate social responsibility and executive compensation. This event brings together thought leaders and practitioners who will address the key issues and trends in executive compensation, C-suite and Board priorities, and evolving business and broader societal issues. We will explore the views of multiple constituencies and stakeholders for an energetic discussion of different viewpoints and exchange of creative ideas.
FW Cook’s Dana Etra and Stephen Hom discuss “2025-2026 Challenges for Executive Incentive Programs in a Volatile Environment”:
Measuring growth and maintaining the pay-performance relationship is an annual challenge made more complicated by volatility in the business environment. We will explore several ways of navigating that volatility, from metric selection and measurement to overall incentive program design, to ensure that pay programs remain motivational, attractive, and retentive. From market shocks and regulatory pivots to shifting company priorities, we will discuss how compensation programs must flex with evolving internal structures and external forces in order to drive performance.
