After a challenging 15 months filled with uncertainty and tragic losses, we’re cautiously optimistic that we’re headed on the road to recovery. It’s amazing how much we’ve learned to appreciate simple pleasures like an in-person lunch that we took for granted in the past. The COVID-19 pandemic will certainly leave a lasting impact on how we lead our lives and businesses.
With that said, our latest issue of C-Suite takes a deep dive into the top executive compensation and governance issues that companies are facing today. Our main feature discusses how executive compensation practices have evolved beyond incentives based solely on the bottom line into a more holistic approach on society at large, particularly as ESG and DE&I initiatives become more prominent.
During a recent episode of “The View From the Top,” co-hosted by Equilar and Borden Media Consulting, we had the privilege of welcoming Debra L. Lee, Chairman and CEO emeritus at BET Networks, and director at AT&T, P&G, Burberry and Marriott. Ms. Lee shares her thoughts on a number of topics, including the history of corporate diversity, how companies should address political and social causes, and much more.
We also sat down with Lisa Shalett, Chief Investment Officer, Wealth Management at Morgan Stanley. Ms. Shalett discusses her path to one of the largest financial institutions in the U.S., what it means to be truly client-led and why the recovery post-pandemic will look a lot different than the last cycle.
For those of you joining us for our virtual four-day Executive Compensation Summit, we have a host of panels prepared to address the most pressing topics in executive compensation. From emerging trends in DE&I and ESG, to people strategy in a post-COVID world, our Summit is sure to be an event you won’t want to miss.
I hope you enjoy our latest issue. As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or suggestions.
