Executive Pay Matters will feature regular posts from Towers Watson’s senior executive compensation consultants, who will share their perspectives on a broad range of issues and trends. Topics covered will range from CEO pay levels and shareholder say-on-pay votes, to incentive plan design and director compensation programs. In addition, the blog will provide results and analyses of Towers Watson’s surveys on executive compensation, and expert commentary on legislative and regulatory developments.

“We are very excited about our blog launch and are delighted to be providing a new channel for our thought leaders to share their views and expertise,” said Doug Friske, global head of executive compensation consulting at Towers Watson. “With regulatory and legislative changes continuing to affect executive compensation programs, compensation committee members, and human resource executives and managers need to stay abreast of the latest developments. The blog offers a way to tap into the collective knowledge of Towers Watson’s executive compensation consulting business. I think readers will find the posts to be thought provoking and useful as they navigate the complex and challenging world of executive compensation in 2011 and beyond.”
