Establishing executive retention plans
The talent and real-world experience of your executives can make a large difference in how your company performs. Our lawyers offer insight on establishing executive retention plans designed to keep top leadership engaged and productive. Along with salary and benefit considerations, a comprehensive executive package might include one or more of the following elements:
- Change-in-control language — These contractual provisions offer protections to executives in cases of company mergers, takeovers or ownership changes.
- Equity compensation incentive — Stock options, performance shares, deferred payments and other indirect forms of compensation reward top performers and also might offer tax advantages.
- Severance agreement — A thorough severance agreement can reduce your risk when an executive leaves by providing fair compensation for releasing potential legal claims.
When you trust us with helping you establish an executive retention strategy, we will take the time to learn about your company and what is being offered by competitors in your industry.
Setting up employee retention plans
Some of the components to attracting and keeping key employees can include:
- Competitive compensation packages — An attractive compensation package might include salaries that exceed the average for the geographic area and industry, health insurance and other employee benefits, stock options, bonuses, paid holidays and time off, retirement plans and more.
- Professional development opportunities — By offering mentorships, training, and other opportunities to learn and grow, you are showing employees that you are invested in them, which can enhance their satisfaction and job performance.
- Employee recognition programs — Employees want to feel appreciated for their contributions to their companies and when they do, it can contribute to building a positive workplace culture.
We can help you establish a comprehensive employee retention plan that is tailored to the size, budget, industry and needs of your business.
