Changing global footprints, competitor landscapes and merger and acquisition activity are just a few factors that influence plan objectives, design, implementation and communications. In this session, the panel will discuss why assessing plan design is crucial to sustaining success, sharing insights from their vast experience across various locations, industries and plan types.

Global employee share plans create a number of challenges, such as understanding cultural and language barriers to be able to effectively deliver a message across a global audience. In this panel discussion with Unilever, we’ll look at how they overcame these challenges, what methods they used to engage employees and reduce the impact on resources, and the lessons they learnt from their experiences.

Young professionals, the talent of the future, seek employments that fulfil a bigger purpose. Business is no longer just a matter of maximising profit; it’s also about making an impact and contributing to society. This session, led by Siemens, looks at combining share ownership with social responsibility and how it appeals to the demands of the millennials. Donation initiatives, for instance, allow plan participants to donate part of their dividend pay-out to charity without hassle. We’ll hear how Siemens realised their solution of a donation initiative, the outcome, and a look ahead at what they have in the pipeline to further leverage share ownership and charity to engage employees. Want to provide more support to your employees?

The Global Equity Insights Survey (GEIS) is the premiere global assessment of current market practice and trends in share plans worldwide. This year's study addresses the use of equity on a global level as a long-term incentive and broad-based tool. It also looks at important topics such as design and plan types, along with the steps companies are taking to tailor their share plans based on rules and regulations, geography and participant demographics. Join us as we detail the major results from this year's survey and take a look at the evolution of findings since the study's inception. Our expert panel will come equipped to share how the study findings over the years should influence your human resources and equity compensation strategies both now and in the future.
