You have choices
but Rem.n is a new, serious, highly experienced service offering:
What makes us different is our combination of experience, independence and our focus on practical, timely outcomes.
- Our experience is second to none
- Our clients include some of the most demanding as well as some of the fastest growing clients in the world
- We are independent: we don’t follow the herd
- Our ownership structure is quite unique, and our success is not based upon links to a tax, legal, accounting or actuarial division.
- We are not a cog in a large corporate machine.
- We start from what’s needed, not what’s been done before.
- We give frank and honest advice, tackling sometimes sensitive conversations that can arise when dealing with Board level pay
About Rem.n
Simon talks about the company, our typical clients and interactions and how we can help
Describing a typical client
"We're often asked, what is a typical client?" Here, we provide some sense of the clients who have approached us in the past...
Typical engagement
What does a typical engagement look like? Problems will typically be related to Incentive Compensation or Remuneration, in any broad sense. Our clients range from small to large, private to public. Our clients are often operating internationally. Here, we describe the process of engaging with you, our client: how do we start, what happens next?
What problems do we solve
The symptoms which our clients often have, when they approach us, fall into five categories:
1. You cannot recruit the talent you need
2. Retention
3. Alignment between management's incentives and the shareholder's objectives
4. Growth
5. Technical support
Do we make a difference?
The subject of executive pay (and how it is designed) is dry. But, designing incentives to motivate the right behaviours can make a huge difference to you, to society, to the planet.
