Subject: The Reward Climate – Post Economic Crisis

Mark Childs of Total Reward Solutions will be discussing the challenge of distinguishing between changing seasons and long-term climate change, including:

• Economic crisis – the short-term impact and expected lasting changes for the financial services sector in particular
• Compensation models – a blip in the long-term trends or will the future be different?
• Incentives – recalibrating the reward mix and the future significance of deferred compensation
• Benefits – the declining significance of benefits provision and anticipated developments in the next decade

Mark is a Director of both the boutique reward consultancy, Total Reward Solutions and the search and interim firm, Total Reward Careers. He has previously headed up global compensation and benefits in Fidelity Investments, Seagram, Chubb, Reckitt & Colman plc and Forte plc.
