Regarding Executive Remuneration, and subject to the scrutiny of investors and funds, proxy advisors, private equity firms, regulators and general public - the configuration and interactions of Shareholders, Boards and Committees vs. CEOs and Management teams, and how they are rewarded accordingly, are complex topics that also offer great potential to effectively creating winning organizations and company valuations.
At the same time, in terms of Broad-based Employee Rewards - attraction, retention and motivation of workforces with the right tangible and "intangible" Remuneration schemes is a key topic for most organizations, if only because investment in human capital is typically a very large part of any company's operating budget, and simultaneously a powerful management tool to obtain desired results and behaviors.
How should our Board(s) be composed of, and how should it/they work? What should the relation to the Property structure / Shareholders be? Is our Board properly evaluated, recognized and remunerated ? Do we have the right Committees ?. What about our CEO and Management Teams ? Are they competitively and fairly compensated? Do we use Stock-based Compensation wisely? Does Executive Pay recognize true long term value creation, objectives’ achievement, digital transformations ?
And our employees - do we have the right Reward packages locally and globally? The right Role / Job Grading, Salary structures and review processes ? Short-term incentives and Bonuses ? Long Term Compensation ? Pension Plans and Benefits ? How do we measure up against Reward markets?.
Very specially - do we have Fair Pay, Transparency, Gender Pay Gap Closures, help towards EU Directive and other regulations' compliance ? We do help organizations with deep analytics and recommendations, standalone or aided by specialized software, in their journeys to "Planet Fair".
Questions like those have a very large impact on how business is done, and require the right technical, "selected few" expertise to be answered effectively.

(Disclaimer: this course is not from WorldatWork in itself, however it might serve as a potential basis to help individuals better prepare for WatW's certification - if so voluntarily and freely chosen by the participant and with no guarantees. The following considerations apply:
1) The CECP ® (Certified Executive Compensation Professional) from WorldatWork is a competency-based exam - there are no “official” materials to take it at the moment and therefore specific personal preparation work on top of much experience on the field is needed,
2) our course is NOT specifically aimed at preparing for that certification; we can provide guidance coaching separately, though,
3) the CECP ® has significant US-focused components in its exam - very concrete SEC disclosure questions, US taxation, US law, etc.; even if there are similarities in spirit vs. what is done in most European jurisdictions, tax and legal details are largely different,
4) obtaining the CECP ® certification is a professional achievement in itself, but requires seniority, experience and detailed knowledge of US regulation and taxes; the multiple-choice WorldatWork exam is 2.5-3.0h. in duration with a highly US-specific technical content.)
