Free Compensation Resource from World at Work

World at Work is a professional association typically associated with compensation professionals.  It provides all sorts of resources and training for HR and Compensation professionals.  It recently made available a useful tool for planning in executive compensation.  The idea behind the Executive Rewards Questionary (no, not a typo...) is to ensure that you are designing a compensation that will be able to survive the scrutiny of a variety of stakeholders - like shareholders and the regulator environment.  It addresses such areas as:
  • Stock plans
  • Equity-based plans
  • Short- and long-term incentive plans
  • Executive perquisites
  • Executive benefits
  • Deferred compensation plans
  • Employment agreements
  • Severance agreements
Hey, even if you are not designing an executive compensation plan, it's useful from the perspective of prompting you to think about a compensation philosophy, in general.  Oh, and did I tell you it's FREE!

Hat tip to Compensation Force for bringing this to our attention.
