Reward, Employment Tax, and Share Plans

Executive Compensation Advisory

An effective executive compensation strategy is about more than financial incentive alone. To attract, retain, and motivate high-caliber talent, it must also align with business strategy, support company goals, and reinforce organizational values.

Deloitte’s executive compensation specialists work with compensation and human resources teams to design and implement a company’s remuneration strategy, benefit policies, and pension structure. We benchmark executive pay levels and advise on disclosures, tax obligations, and governance. During M&A and IPOs, we can advise on reward issues and perform HR due diligence.

Equity and Incentives

The success of an incentive plan is rooted in the collaboration of stakeholders and subject matter experts in areas including HR, legal, tax, and accounting. We partner with clients from fast-growing startups to large multinationals to help them design, implement, operate, and communicate employee incentives that support key business objectives.

Deloitte’s global network of incentive experts specialize in plan design, governance, compliance, tax, legal and regulatory considerations, operations, communications, accounting, and finance. Our multidisciplinary approach allows us to provide a breadth and depth of support from equity plan inception, design, and implementation to ongoing operations. This includes understanding the costs of new arrangements, delivering legal documents in some jurisdictions, drafting communications on employee incentives, and managing compliance and risk.
