Breakout Series I

1.1 Opening the Chamber of Secrets: Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance Goals and Incentive Programs DESIGN, STRATEGY & TRENDS

What do sustainability goals have to do with incentive programs? It’s a fact that employees prefer to invest in a company whose values align to their own. This presentation explores how companies and investors look at environmental, social and corporate governance priorities, and what role these may play in influencing equity plan design in the future. Specifically, our thought leaders will discuss how companies are impacted by these areas, explore what investors/employees have to say, and share perspectives that will stimulate questions and discussion around this emerging hot topic.

1.3 Performance Awards: The Down and Dirty DESIGN, STRATEGY & TRENDS

As performance awards play an even more significant role in global compensation, we continue to evaluate their importance in the ever-changing equity landscape. This session brings you multi-industry experts who have teamed up to assess the alignment between performance awards and company performance. With access to data on performance award payouts and company grant practices, this session will share a close look at which factors impact the pay-for-performance relationship and whether an ideal mix of equity vehicles exists. Biogen, Foot Locker, and Eastman Chemical provide a range of practical perspectives, and the panel will look carefully at the surprising findings related to stock option usage. Join this session to uncover down and dirty truth about the performance awards in your executive compensation plans.

1.4 The Clock is Ticking—The Impact of Real-Time Equity Reporting and Other Payroll Considerations FINANCE & TAX

Around the globe employers are facing increasingly tight deadlines when it comes to ensuring payroll withholding, reporting and deposits. Changes such as the new T+2 regulations in the US and the introduction of real time payroll reporting requirements in countries such as Ireland and Australia are recent examples.

Failure to meet payroll reporting or deposit deadlines can expose companies to penalties and interest charges, and may also affect the employee experience. This session will address how these recent changes are impacting equity processes, examine some of the practical challenges employers typically experience, and highlight leading practices for overcoming these challenges, including the unique timing challenges presented by mobile employees.

1.5 Company Culture and Equity Plan Design: A Powerful Pair PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

With increasing workforce diversity comes benefits and challenges. While companies focus on actionable steps to strengthen their internal cultures and inspire and retain employees, effective and efficient reward and recognition strategies continue to grow in importance. In this session, we will discuss how to assess meaningful incentives and benefits that are right for your company culture. Our panel will discuss considerations and effectively address the differences in values and expectations of employees when designing an equity plan. We will also review various generational-focused compensation tools and look at how equity fits into the equation.

1.7 Global Versus Local—Can One Size Ever Fit All? DESIGN, STRATEGY & TRENDS

What influences companies to make the decision to adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to designing their employee share plan versus tailoring their plan at a local level? Join this exploration of the considerations behind this all-important decision and delve into the factors that ultimately influenced how this panel came to choose one approach over the other. As you leave this session, you will have perspective on considerations that you need to take into account when considering customization of your plans and what pressure points you should factor in when contemplating this decision.

Breakout Series II

2.1 Enough with the Millennials: Let’s Talk Equity Comp and Retirement DESIGN, STRATEGY & TRENDS

The equity compensation conversation is appropriately centered around “attract, retain, and motivate”. While retirement considerations are not necessarily part of the calculus at the time grant, it can ultimately impact an employee’s behavior as well as a company’s succession plan. As equity compensation fuels wealth accumulation, which in turn improves employees’ ability to plan for retirement, this panel will provide a refreshingly new look at the intersection of equity and retirement. Session attendees will get an inside look at how retirement is considered as part of the equity strategy at two top-tier companies and will be treated to the unveiling of new research on the topic. Join in to refresh your understanding of the powerful retirement tool and learn new and creative ways to utilize retirement as part of your company’s equity strategy.

2.2 The Missing Link: The Perspectives, Challenges, and Roles of the Manager in the Equity Compensation Chain COMMUNICATIONS

In any long-term incentive program, how and what you communicate to employees about their equity awards is critical. But as managers consider recommendations for their teams or have compensation discussions with their employees, do they fully understand the program and are they communicating the messages as intended? Our panel will focus on the perspectives, challenges, and roles of the manager in maximizing the effectiveness of your long-term incentive program. We will discuss the way that long-term incentives are communicated to managers in the compensation planning process. We will consider the degree of flexibility that managers have - or don't have - and how award decisions are made. And we will provide examples of how companies explain the current and potential future value of awards and of how equity compensation is positioned as part of total reward. Planning a great compensation philosophy and communication message is important – but getting your message across as intended to everyone involved in the process is key!

2.3 CEO Pay Ratio: Lessons Learned From the First Year EXECUTIVE PAY

As proxy statements continue to roll in, experiences with the pay ratio calculation roll-out—from information on the numbers reported to the experiences of companies who have prepared their ratio, the lessons learned in this first year are emerging. In this session, this panel of internal preparers and consultants will discuss the key challenges of the pay ratio calculation, how they were solved, and the reaction to the public disclosure of their median salary and ratio. Wrapping up the debrief of this first-year, the session will include an up-to-date data analysis of proxies filed containing the pay ratio number and a look at values and patterns to help you and your company best understand your ratio relative to the marketplace.

2.4 Divergent: A Global Mobility Adventure Featuring eBay and PayPal PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

Come learn how the two organizations took different paths toward equity plans post-split and take a peek into their administration as well as the business drivers behind their decisions.

2.5 The ESPP Dilemma: Why Doesn't Everyone Participate? COMMUNICATIONS

To most equity professionals and even behavioral economists, every eligible employee should participate in his or her company’s ESPP. Despite the “obvious-to-us” benefit, participation rates are often surprisingly low. Join this insightful panel for a dialogue on what companies can do to inspire employees participation in global, broad-based contributory plans. Starting with ESPP participation data from around the world, the panel will share successful ESPP communication and education strategies for improving participation in underrepresented demographic populations. If you are looking for best-practice suggestions to help you maximize the value of your company’s ESPP, this session is for you!

2.6 Getting Strategic—Global Plan Design DESIGN, STRATEGY & TRENDS

Does the increasing cost of global compliance have you rethinking your global share plan? This session will take a deep-dive into the strategy behind the design of a global share plan and the factors every company should consider in the process including analyzing the motivation for the use of equity—are incentives are offered because it is the nature of the corporate culture or because they are truly providing a return for the company? Other important points for review include how to thoughtfully consider the feasibility of offering the plan broad-based and on a global scale and the ever important return on investment. Rounding out this exploration of considerations, the panel will also take a look at what happens when the plan becomes too expensive to run and what key learnings the audience should take from this. Come to this session for a refreshing look at the “why” behind global share plans and leave equipped with questions you should be asking about your own plan now.

2.7 Why ONE is Much More Than Two DESIGN, STRATEGY & TRENDS

With the completion of the merger of TUI AG and TUI Travel PLC in December 2014, two TUI’s became one and today, TUI Group is the world’s number one tourism business. Join this panel to learn how TUI strategically used equity post-merger when the company took action to replace two existing share schemes with a single plan for nearly all employees. The resulting plan, “oneShare” was offered to approximately 50,000 of TUI’s 67,000 employees in 18 countries. Hear about the vision of oneShare, including information on why TUI decided to launch two branches in one year and how they dealt with the different challenges. This insightful case study will also show how TUI rolled out a cross-media, cross-border and cross-cultural campaign in a very short time frame, what success was achieved, and what are the next steps for the future.

Breakout Series III

3.1 Big 4 View—Tax Reform and Horizon of Compensation FINANCE & TAX

Given the passage of the most sweeping tax reform bill to impact the US in more than three decades and with many other countries looking at tax reform as a revenue raiser, this power-packed session will deliver an insightful dialogue on what these changes mean for the horizon for equity and executive compensation. This Big 4 panel of leaders in the equity compensation industry, will provide an update on what changes around the globe you need to be looking out for and share their views on tax reform and what lies ahead for equity and executive compensation.

3.2 Reinvigorating Your Equity Plans for a Global Business DESIGN, STRATEGY & TRENDS

Ever thought about throwing out your current equity plan and starting over? While for most of us this is akin to the impossible dream, for Australia-based CSL, this dream became a reality. Want to know more? Join this session for a panel Q&A with CSL’s Head of Executive Compensation and Equity to discuss why CSL made the move away from their former phantom cash plan towards an equity-based plan and hear more about the “bumps and lumps” they experienced along their journey.

Come gain the perspective from down under as the panel discusses how this global company thoughtfully and successfully renovated their equity plans.

3.3 Applying Consumer Marketing Techniques to Increase Equity Program Participation COMMUNICATIONS

Effective communication is the difference between companies that see employee engagement with their equity programs and those that don’t and few companies have the expertise in creating great consumer experiences that eBay has. So it's no surprise that eBay utilized a marketing-minded approach in designing the communication program for their equity programs. If equity programs are part of your total rewards strategy, you can’t afford for employees to be ambivalent or uninformed about their value, especially when you roll out new programs or introduce changes to existing ones. In this session, learn how eBay launched a new approach to increasing ESPP adoption, including using multi-channel communication campaigns, delivering compelling “bite sized” pieces of content, and clearly explaining equity concepts and enrollment options via consumer-grade content experiences and clear calls-to-action.

Joseph Larocque, GuideSpark (US) Rachel Ulep, eBay Inc. (US)


3.4 Gender Pay: Mind the Gap! COMPLIANCE & REGULATORY

A recent article in the Washington Post claimed that most women work the equivalent of 10 weeks a year for free, when comparing median male and female salaries. The gender pay gap is gaining increasing attention around the globe as more countries are introducing legislation to try to encourage companies to narrow the gap. This panel discussion will look at the impact of gender pay legislation, the reasons behind it, the view from around the globe and whether it is working. The panel will share their own experiences, as well as share details on Brambles’ own approach, and will discuss some of the key issues that they’ve found arising in employee stock plans.

Companies are increasingly utilizing data visualization and advanced analytics tools to increase both the efficiency and effectiveness of their equity programs. Learn how leading edge companies are evolving their analytics toolset beyond baseline spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations into the realm of data visualization.

Our panel will discuss various examples of using emerging data visualization tools and advanced analytics within the equity arena. Come learn about their approaches to using these tools in their respective roles, the challenges they faced, the insights gained, and their plans going forward. Expect to see some examples and ideas that you can leverage at your own companies.

3.6 Implementing a Financial Wellness Plan to Increase How Participants View Their Equity PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

Companies grant more than $110B annually in equity to their employees yet continue to question if there is understanding of how equity works and its potential for improving the individual participants’ financial future. In this session we will examine how financial wellness, when delivered in conjunction with equity plans, has a significant impact on employee retention and satisfaction with compensation. Our expert panel will discuss how to increase employee equity plan engagement using financial wellness as well as demonstrate various technological approaches to wellness education. Learn how to design your own financial wellness plan and maximize employee participation!

4.1 Fantastic Performance Awards and Where to Find Them: The Ever-Evolving World of Performance Equity DESIGN, STRATEGY & TRENDS

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or perhaps in a magical mist in the wizarding world of Harry Potter, you are probably aware that performance awards are a staple of long-term incentive plans, and in fact, some estimate as many as 80% or more of companies are now using such awards. But what are the best performance award metrics? What is the most appropriate mix with time-based awards? What are cutting edge companies doing when it comes to performance awards? Join this panel of compensation wizards as they discuss market prevalence, identify trends and share specific examples where companies have found an appropriate balance as well as uncover insightful market research. Whether you’re a first year or a certified wizard yourself, learn how to create a little more magic at your company with state-of-the-art use of performance awards and prepare yourself for what could be coming down the road before it’s too late!

4.3 Maximizing Returns. The Stock Function as a Revenue Generator! FINANCE & TAX

The traditional mindset is that settled stock-based compensation represents a sunk cost when offered to employees around the world. This session aims to challenge that thinking! Join in for a practical discussion about how a company’s stock plan function can actually help create cash inflows to a Company. Techniques covered will include the use of stock plan charge-outs to improve the global effective corporate tax rate, how to implement qualifying stock plans to maximise the after-tax value while retaining the commercial characteristics of your existing awards, and where to focus efforts recognizing that not all countries apply tax and social security to stock plans in the same way. The stock plan team has a critical role to ensure that the company is fully compliant with its obligations but can also play a key role to ensure that it does not overpay taxes. Hear how Cummins has done just that while maximizing the value of their stock compensation delivered.

4.4 It’s a Small Equity Universe After All: Localizing your Global Plan COMPLIANCE & REGULATORY

Global companies look to have one plan that works around the world to make life simple. This session will look at how companies accommodate and celebrate local differences to recognise local tax systems, but stay within their company’s global approach to stock plans.

5.4 X and Y—Gender Differences in Equity DESIGN, STRATEGY & TRENDS

Eliminating pay inequities based on gender (or, any other protected status) is a critical compensation challenge of our time. Coupled with the front page gender issues news, it is surprising how little data and research on gender differences exists within the relatively narrow confines of incentive and equity compensation. And, while guidelines for equity pay that are strictly rule based can reduce the risk for gender gaps, such rules often favor employees at higher grade levels and that may translate into a gender divide in many organizations. It’s no wonder plan sponsors often don’t even know how to begin to understand gender concerns with their equity practices. To help plan sponsors better grasp the multitude of issues with gender and equity compensation, Fidelity Stock Plan Services conducted extensive research to not only understand what differences can be observed in grant practices, but also the behavioral variances between the genders and the perception gaps with respect to equity compensation. With equity compensation representing a meaningful component of overall compensation for many employees, and shareholders increasingly interested in gender pay gaps, it is time to start understanding how male and female participants are different with respect to their receipt, behavior, and perceptions.

8.2 Generational Perceptions: A Study of Views on Employee Share Plans in China DESIGN, STRATEGY & TRENDS

For the first time in history, there are four generations in the western workforce. However, due to the unique political and historical background, the Chinese workforce has three generations who carry different expectation in life and career: the Chinese Culture Revolutionaries from the 60’s, the Social Reformers from the 70’s and those from the One Child Policy (Emperors) born in and after the 80’s. In this session, we will examine whether it is appropriate to assume that employee stock ownership is a worthwhile reward and recognition tool in China and look at the effectiveness of this assumption as well as variations by generation. With huge potential sitting in the Chinese economy, join us for this insightful study that provides primary data analysis in understanding these three generations’ perceptions of employee stock ownership plans and further explores how different generations value employee stock ownership in their decision to stay or leave their employers.
