Mercer

The impact of economic turmoil on the remuneration practices of Financial Services companies

Last updated: 1 December 2008

 

The growing financial crisis and looming economic recession have created an environment whereby the senior management teams of financial services companies and their Remuneration Committees need to ensure their business strategies and remuneration programmes are appropriately aligned to both the current economic environment and the regulatory/shareholder scrutiny lying ahead. 

 

Implications of governmental and regulatory actions on affected companies, as well as the possible broader impact of these messages on the whole industry, are being explored.

 

In a recent web briefing, Mercer experts discussed the impact of economic turmoil on the remuneration practices of Financial Services companies.
