In preparation for a major program change for their broad-based equity compensation program, our client engaged us to develop a customized training courese designed to equip their HR organization with the knowledge necessary to respond to a wide range of questions from their worldwide employees.

Global RSU Program Design & Rollout Support. Faced with the challenge of designing and rolling out a new RSU program to key employees in over 20 countries on a highly accelerated time table, our client engaged us to work alongside their highly capable in-house compensation team and their outsourcing service provider to help meet their aggressive deadline. Our extensive international equity plan design and operational expertise, and intimate knowledge of Fidelity's stock plan platform enabled our client to make informed plan design decisions quickly which lead to a successful (and timely) roll out a new Global RSU program. Our service included evaluating the feasibility of several design elements and RSU award features.

Cash-Based Unit Program Design & Implementation. Leveraging our worldwide resource nework, we designed a cash-based unit program for our client's non-US employees in selected countries where the use of company shares would create cost-prohibitive legal expenses,including China. Collaborating with our strategic partners, we designed and implemented a cash-based unit program that helped out client avoid the costly SAFE filing in China while retaining the benefits of equity-based long-term incentive awards.
