• Compensation plan design change has continued in the financial services industry (e.g., creating increasedfixed compensation for key risk-takers in the EU)
• Recent regulatory proposals in the US and the impact of the UK’s EU referendum vote will likely bring aboutmore changes:– Inclusion of non-financial performance metrics in short and long-term incentives;– Limitations on maximum awards as a multiple of target;– Extended deferral and forfeiture/clawback requirements;– Potential changes to pay structures in the UK (a return to CRD III?)
• The emphasis on Employee Value Proposition in financial services is critical in the war for talent, particularlyfor millennials.
• Reinforcing the “right” behaviors and demonstrating a sound risk culture will be a focus and a challenge
• Performance management reform is a key lever to help manage toward desired culture change
• Efforts to achieve a sound risk culture, create an attractive environment for Talent, and meet shareholderrequirements, have to go beyond compensation systems for meaningful change to become embedded
• These initiatives need to be driven by responsible leadership rather than additional regulation
