COMPENSATION IN CONTEXT
April 23, 2012
EXECUTIVE PAY GOES MOBILE!
INTRODUCING THE NEW MERIDIAN COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HANDBOOK APP FOR IPAD
In
mid-March, thousands of customers braved the elements and camped out
outside Apple stores across America days in advance of the latest iPad
release, eager to get their hands on the 3rd generation
tablet. A record 3 million units were sold in the opening weekend alone.
While it is difficult to state with certainty, it seems like more than a
coincidence that these record queues appeared so shortly after Meridian
Compensation Partners, LLC ("Meridian") released its new Compensation Committee Handbook iPad application ("app").
Accessing
proxy data and 8-K disclosures, referencing executive compensation
topics, and connecting with a team of seasoned executive pay consulting
professionals has never been easier. Frank Glassner and the team at
Meridian are proud to introduce a one-of-a-kind application, currently
available at no cost, that puts a vast array of compensation resources
at your fingertips. Designed exclusively for iPad, the new Compensation
Committee Handbook app is the perfect solution for compensation
committees, board members and executives utilizing the latest mobile
platforms by Apple.
The
iPad, among other mobile devices, is rapidly becoming the productivity
tool of choice for board members across the country. With
the Compensation Committee Handbook app, anyone can quickly access
compensation data and company financials, review the fundamentals of
compensation design, or analyze the details of new regulations before,
during, or after meetings. This new mobile application is a must-have
app for corporate governance executive compensation professionals.
The Meridian Compensation Committee Handbook for iPad Features:
-
A library of executive compensation primers on plan design,
benchmarking, governance, disclosure, taxes and accounting treatment;
- Direct access to proxies and relevant 8-K disclosures for public companies;
- Alerts on the latest regulatory and legislative news;
- Contact and bio information of Meridian’s consulting experts; and
- Stunning, easy-to-use interface linkages.
TAKE A LIBRARY OF COMPENSATION RESOURCES WHEREVER YOU GO
First and
foremost, the new Compensation Committee Handbook app is just that: a
quick reference tool handy at all times for board members, senior
executives and compensation professionals. The application comes with
free access to Meridian’s extensive library of articles on executive
pay. Users can expect to find articles to address their varying needs,
from reviewing annual and long-term incentive design in practice, to the
basics of navigating proxy disclosure requirements. The major topics
are neatly organized into five areas on the application’s home screen: Governance, Design, Benchmarking, Disclosure, and Technical:
