Performance and reward - Ernst & Young - Australia

Ever-changing business models make it increasingly hard to tie employee performance to appropriate rewards. Our multi-disciplinary team of professionals in 130 countries offers you a global perspective on the latest thinking and practices around this critical business issue.

Executive and non-executive reward
We help you develop comprehensive and robust compensation strategies, for executives and non-executives, that are sensitive to the regulatory environment, stakeholder interests, and your corporate objectives. Services include executive reward strategy and design, short and long-term incentive plans, global compensation strategies, remuneration committee advice and assistance with operational issues such as proxy disclosure and communication support.

Equity incentive and benefit plan design
Equity incentive plans are among the most powerful tools available to attract, motivate and retain talent. We create and implement equity-based reward programs that align employee motivation with your business objectives and shareholder interests. We can help design an effective equity plan (or review an existing one) that encompasses accounting, tax, and corporate governance considerations.

HR due diligence and transactions
If you are evaluating and implementing strategic transactions, we can assist in managing the HR issues at the strategy development, due diligence and post-deal implementation stages of acquisitions, mergers, takeovers and other transactions. Our goal is to give you a full understanding of their risks, opportunities, liabilities and financial implications.
