It seems everything old is new again: Compensation committees are considering evergreen programs, retention bonuses, and mega grants, and engaging in an ongoing debate around changing performance goals in the face of economic uncertainty.

It seems our times require an enduring compensation philosophy, yet one that can also be responsive in times of change.
