HR Compliance Library, ¶21,271, Benchmark: Willis Towers Watson CEO pay study

摘要

Increases in total compensation for chief executive officers (CEOs) at the nation’s largest corporations remainedrnmoderate again in 2016, driven largely by uneven corporate performance, increasing bonuses, and a sharprndecrease in the value of stock option exercises, according to an analysis of proxy disclosures by Willis TowersrnWatson. The modest increase in CEO pay is not surprising given the relatively lackluster financialrnperformance of companies in many sectors of the economy in 2016. A strong second half offset a weak first half,rnresulting in generally flat to moderate performance improvement over several performance metrics.
