Investor feedback on the issue of pay-for-performance has indicated a preference for putting the focus on long-term alignment, board decision-making, and pay relative both to market peers and to absolute shareholder returns. As a result, ISS is unveiling a new approach to evaluating pay-for-performance in 2012 for U.S. companies. It comprises an initial quantitative assessment and, as appropriate, an in-depth qualitative review to determine either the likely cause of a perceived long-term disconnect between pay and performance, or factors that mitigate the initial assessment.See White Paper: http://www.issgovernance.com/docs/EvaluatingPayForPerformance2012.
