Zahll Executive advises Managements and Boards on reward strategies and incentive programs, combining experience and insight to design competitive, purpose-based programs that reflect key considerations - from business strategy and market practice to regulatory requirements, tax and legal aspects, policies and governance to choice of instruments and administration.

CLIENT CASE EXAMPLE

Preparing for extensive Growth

Following a decade of growth, the client wanted to step up even further, with a complete revision of the incentive structure and vehicles offered to senior management as a key enabler for continued success.

A new incentive structure was established with revised annual bonus models and carry participation structure, development and implementation of profit sharing mechanisms and a management warrant program.

Programs were designed in close collaboration with the Remuneration Committee, Legal and Tax advisors, as well as the team responsible for ongoing operations.
