The CTRN Invites You! "Pay for Performance Across the Organization: From Merit and Bonus Programs to Executive Pay" presented by Laulima Consulting Inc. (November 24, 2026)

Tue, 24 Nov 2026 14:45:00 GMT

Pay for Performance Across the Organization: From Merit and Bonus Programs to Executive Pay

Presented by Laulima Consulting Inc.

Pay for performance is a common goal, but creating a meaningful connection between the two is often more difficult in practice. The right approach can vary widely across organizations and even within an organization depending on business strategy, roles, and performance measures.

Join Kenneth Yung from Laulima Consulting for an engaging panel discussion featuring Byron Neiles, Corporate Director and former EVP and Chief Administrative Officer at Enbridge and Lee Stanfield, Chief People Officer and VP, OCM Advisory, Ethicrithm Inc.. Moderated by Arron Dobson, Partner at Laulima Consulting, the discussion will bring together compensation expertise and senior executive / Board perspectives to explore what it takes to make pay for performance work in practice.

The discussion will examine how organizations approach pay for performance across different employee populations, from broad-based merit increases and bonus programs to executive compensation. Drawing on practical experiences, panelists will share perspectives on common challenges, key design decisions, and how organizations balance rewarding performance with affordability, fairness, and business objectives.

Designed for HR leaders and compensation professionals who shape and deliver pay for performance programs, this session offers an opportunity to hear directly from experienced leaders about what works, what doesn't, and the lessons learned along the way.
