Customized Strategic Tools

We have been creating customized incentive solutions for many years but never more than in the last few years. We have been working with organizations to provide them with “a quiver of incentive tools”. This has positioned them to retain key staff even during slow markets and attract critical talent as the competition for executives heats up again. By introducing creative elements such as partial deferrals, medium-term plans, performance vesting, etc., Wynford’s Executive Compensation team have helped to strengthen the pay-performance linkage while also enhancing the alignment with shareholder value.
