On today’s episode, we’re joined by Tina Murphy, Principal, and Daniel Rodda, Partner, at Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC. Daniel and Tina outline five essential agenda topics that compensation committees should consider adding to their calendars for 2025. These strategies focus on optimizing executive compensation practices, addressing shareholder concerns and ensuring long-term alignment with corporate goals.

Key Takeaways:

(02:49) Committees should add pay analysis, say on pay prep, share plan reviews, charter updates and program audits to 2025 agendas.
