Goals are an integral part of performance within many job functions, particularly among management employees. Proper goal-setting techniques will ensure that both the organization and the employee benefit from the individual's contributions towards goal achievement. This session will take participants through an exercise in effective goal-setting, an important aspect in the determination of performance for compensation decision-making. This session will cover topics that include:
a) the importance of reviewing job content and correlating the position’s goals to the department/company’s strategic plan and initiatives;
b) the application of goal-setting to the annual performance management process;
c) the proper use of documentation for the determination of performance for purposes of calculating incentive compensation;
d) calculating goal achievement through an objective process; and
e) the importance of clearly written goals for effective communication of expectations.

Performance based employee stock options are becoming a more common form of compensation. Human resource professionals like them because they achieve non financial benefits such as:

1. Aligning company objectives;
2. Linking the compensation to the performance of the employee;
3. Turning the stock based compensation to a reward mechanism for high achievers.

The presentation will highlight the similarities and differences of Performance Grants to other types of employee stock-based compensation.

In this session, attendees will be able to learn about the different methods of granting performance based awards, the benefits of performance units and why companies should use them, and the step by step process of creating performance-based stock based compensation.

Ramy Taraboulsi, CEO of SyncBASE Inc., will cover these topics in detail and will be able to answer any questions you may have. With over 10 years of experience in the equity compensation industry, Ramy has seen many different methods of performance based compensation and will even draw on his experience through the performance options granted by SyncBASE, Inc.
