The workshop was an opportunity to exchange information on key compensation issues and challenges for the effective alignment of risk and compensation, with an additional focus on the impact of the pandemic on firms’ compensation practices. The workshop covered:
- Non-financial criteria and measures, behaviours and firm culture – Participants identified trends in the use of non-financial criteria, potential differences across sectors and how these criteria affect and are affected by firm culture.
- Effective alignment of risk and compensation – Participants identified effective practices for alignment between risk and compensation and how practices may vary across sectors.
- Legal and regulatory issues – The discussion focused on the most significant legal and regulatory impediments to the use of compensation tools, such as malus and clawback and possible steps to address these. The session also explored firms’ use of severance pay.
- COVID-19 and compensation – Participants discussed compensation-related actions firms and supervisors have taken in relation to COVID-19.
The discussions from the workshop are an input into the FSB’s ongoing work on identifying effective practices and enhancements to compensation frameworks.
