Happy New Year from Farient Advisors

Dear Friend ,

Happy New Year from all of us here at Farient Advisors, an executive compensation, performance, and corporate governance consultancy. Between celebrations, we encourage you to take time for reflection – to distill lessons from the past year and plan for the year ahead. We at Farient aim to help by sharing some of our lessons learned and tips for 2019. 

• The Seven “Deadly Sins” for Compensation Committee Agendas in 2019: With 2019’s proxy season looming, it is time to analyze what compensation committees should expect in the year ahead – and to focus their attention. 

• 2018 Global Trends in Corporate Governance: This research found an increasing global focus on governance best practices. In 2019, every aspect of governance will matter – from the quality of management to the independence of the board to shareholder confidence.

• Dare to Be Different: Strategic Compensation Plan Design: In 2019, more companies will dare to be different by designing a unique executive compensation program tailored to company strategy - and investors will approve of it. 

May these resources aid you in your 2019 planning and inspire you. From all at Farient, we hope this year brings new happiness, new goals and new achievements. 

Sincerely,
Farient Advisors LLC
