Executive remuneration

Executive remuneration is a key factor in a Reward strategy and may play a decisive role in your company’s development and profitability. By being perceived as an employer of choice and by providing the right incentives to key executives and top management, companies are able to attract and retain the right people while optimising their employee cost.

Optimisation of an executive’s status is based upon two pillars:

• What is most appropriate and in the meantime also optimal legal status in which an executive should carry out his duties?
• How can the reward package be optimised from tax, social security and labour law perspectives?
