Disruption brings an opportunity to reflect, reset, and reinvigorate. Create an executive rewards strategy that aligns to your purpose, talent strategy, and business performance.
Tying purpose-based goals to financial rewards push leaders to be accountable for their behaviors and actions to help create a better society. Shareholders, employees, and society want executive compensation to expand to encompass rewards for such initiatives as improving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), embracing a stakeholder (rather than a stockholder) mindset, and actions to support environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) – in addition to the traditional financial and operational results executive rewards have always emphasized.
Integrating financial, ESG, and ESG concerns into your executive compensation program helps build an agile rewards infrastructure. This will enable you to attract, retain, and motivate global and local executive talent who can thrive during disruption.

An organization's purpose manifests in talent-related factors like diversity, equity, inclusion, retention, equitable benefits, social investment, pay equity, and pay transparency. Organizations that demonstrate sincere integrity in their commitment to their purpose, their people, and the planet will have the power to reset the social and welfare agenda while meeting stakeholder expectations. Those who take the lead in this effort can spearhead the emergence of socially responsible capitalism. Shareholders – both institutional and retail – are demanding that companies take leadership on this. Executives who are more committed to purpose-driven value statements will steward better, healthier, and more inclusive ways of living and working.
