Our consultative approach helps you gain a deeper understanding of country-specific requirements to make more informed decisions on award grants, and our comprehensive service mitigates risk at every step of the equity process, from plan registration to reporting.
Streamline your international compensation
Equity regulations vary so much from country to country that it can be hard for HR teams to offer equity awards, much less consistent ones. Our Global Equity Program makes doing both easy. With versatile plans, a variety of award types, and local expertise around the world, you’ll have a simplified way to offer fair and consistent compensation to all of your people.
Exceed top talent’s expectations
The world’s top talent wants more than just a healthy paycheck—and our Global Equity Program gives you the robust compensation options to stand out from the crowd. With equity offerings that meet or exceed industry standards for all locations, you’ll always be able to offer a little extra to attract qualified candidates and keep your global dream teams together.
