Board compensation committees at privately held companies regularly evaluate and benchmark executive compensation programs to address a variety of strategic and operational needs—ranging from enhancing employee satisfaction and reducing turnover to effectively communicating the value of ownership.
Join Prairie experts Dave Horvath and Franco Silva as they deliver a focused and insightful overview of the key elements in executive compensation benchmarking. They will highlight best practices in benefit level planning and the importance of aligning executive benefit programs—such as Employee Stock Ownership Plans (“ESOPs”)—with both market compensation norms and shareholder expectations.
Participants will gain practical guidance on how to structure competitive and defensible compensation programs that support retention, succession planning, and fiduciary responsibilities.
Topics covered:
- Understanding market compensation ranges and their application in private company benchmarking
- Determining appropriate target benefit levels for executives in ESOP-owned businesses
- Exploring why these considerations matter to ESOP trustees and the broader governance process
- Effective uses of synthetic equity in ESOP companies and factors impacting program design
