Performance Metrics and Benchmarking
Designating the metrics used to define and benchmark performance are key to monitoring the correlation between performance outcome and incentive compensation. Performance metrics themselves need adaptability, adjusting to the issues, economic circumstances, and risks that impact markets and the company. These metrics must not only be fair, their measurement and corresponding potential compensation award should be agreed upon between the executive and Board of Directors/Owners in order for a program to be creditable. Absolute and relative performance (vs. a peer group) measurement is an ideal structure but usually can be established only with public companies.
