Key considerations

A key asset to any organization is its people, and employers therefore need to have a strategy to ensure that they are attracting and retaining the right talent, and that their objectives are aligned with those of the business over the long term. Leading businesses can seek to optimize the performance of key people by implementing long term incentive plans. These are commonly used to align the interests of employees with those of the business.

• Provide competitive reward,
• Create alignment and drive business performance,
• Encourage particular behaviors.
