Comparing a company's performance over time with that of its peers allows to recognize management's impact and to separate individual performance from mere market trends.

Indexing is an excellent solution to the challenge of goal-setting that I highly recommend for companies in uncertain and volatile markets for more reliable and accurate performance assessments that reduce unwanted risks in pay.
