Long-term incentive plans are excellence avenues to align key employees’ interests with the company’s overall long-term strategic goals and objectives. This requires carefully crafted performance metrics that will motivate and incentivize management to take certain actions for the betterment of stakeholders.
Overall Strategy
A&M assists companies with selecting metrics and calibrating the performance targets so that they are robust and challenging, yet achievable. Important questions to consider when implementing performance metrics within a compensation plan include:
- What goals does the company look to achieve?
- How is success defined with regards to these specific goals?
- What reporting or data collection mechanisms currently exist?

- Which metrics to utilize
