The Obermatt Bonus Index controls the volatility in your bonus plans. It also helps you gain acceptance by shareholders, executives and employees in order to end the debates about bonus levels.

As a neutral third party, Obermatt ranks financial performance in the Bonus Index. The higher the ranking of the company relative to its peers, the higher the justified executive remuneration and compensation.

Benefits (more on benefits):

• Rewards true operating performance – and not the economic cycle. It rewards outperformers even during a downturn.
• Reduces the need for costly plan re-designs and ad hoc adjustments. Lengthy bonus negotiations are minimized.
• Endorsed by shareholders, making bonus payments more acceptable and defendable.

Implementing the Bonus Index

Companies can keep their bonus plan in place and work with their existing compensation consultants to implement the Bonus Index. Clients receive quarterly updates of their performance and their deserved bonus levels (more).
