Employee Incentives

Attracting the best people is vital to the success of any business. But the labour market is increasingly mobile and competitive. To offer the sort of incentives that attract and retain the best people, you need advice that’s responsive to changes in regulations and market conditions. Our incentives team knows just how to get – and keep – the kind of talent that boosts company performance.

A partner, not an outsider. We work closely with you to create, put in place, and communicate incentive plans – for employees and executives. We deal with senior directors, managers, consultants and trustees, as well as advising the remuneration committees of listed companies. We also help businesses with employee benefit trusts, tax withholding, social security, accounting, transfer pricing, corporate governance, regulatory and compliance matters.

Managing the impact of mergers. Mergers and acquisitions are stressful times for everyone. Employees worry about their job security, or the potential of the newly merged business. Employers worry about managing staff levels and keeping the best people. We understand the pressures. We’re well versed in advising clients on the impact that mergers, restructurings and public offerings have on incentive arrangements.
