This blog is dedicated to improving the processes by which equity compensation programs and awards – stock options, restricted stock, performance awards, stock purchase plans, employee stock ownership plans and simulated equity programs – are considered, designed, implemented, and operated.
The
Effective Equity approach to compensation design has been developed by
Compensation Venture Group, Inc. and used successfully for many years with our
clients to resolve challenging equity compensation issues in the face of
volatile equity markets, ongoing regulatory change, and global changes in the
business environment.
What is Effective Equity?
Effective Equity is the delivery of ownership to employees in a manner that optimizes the interests of all stakeholders, not just shareholders or political activists. We believe that Effective Equity is central to the success of capitalism and the free market system.
The first series of blogs, over the next week, will address:
The Five Elements of Effective Equity: Strategy
The Five Elements of Effective Equity: Finance
The Five Elements of Effective Equity: Behavior
The Five Elements of Effective Equity: Governance
The Five Elements of Effective Equity: Impact
This blog will cover new academic research findings, opinions of competing viewpoints on equity compensation, and the broader issues of employee ownership, shared capitalism, and Conscious Compensation©.

Effective Equity is the delivery of ownership to employees in a manner that optimizes the interests of all stakeholders, not just shareholders or political activists. We believe that Effective Equity is central to the success of capitalism and the free market system.
The equity
compensation design process has been dominated for several years by competing interests
of accountants and self-appointed corporate governance advisers. For many
years, we have known that the measures and standards being imposed on equity
design are inappropriate and destructive to both shareholder value and employee
ownership culture.
As this blog and the accompanying website are launched, there is timely new evidence of the shareholder value
destruction issue and this directly supports the employee ownership premise.
