Mercer's new book – Responsible Executive Compensation for a New Era of Accountability – focuses on the new executive compensation imperatives including improved business performance alignment, a changed agenda for equity, and the new regulatory landscape.

It shows how companies should reevaluate their executive compensation programs in an unprecedented time of transition – where senior executives and Boards of Directors manage out of an economic downturn, redesign equity compensation programs in light of new accounting rules, and operate under stronger governance standards.

Mercer's Peter Chingos is the editor. Chapters were written by experts from Mercer Human Resource Consulting and Mercer Delta.
