Total Rewards 2007, WorldatWork Conference & Exhibition, Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin, Orlando, FL, May 6-9, 2007
In this session, Edward Hauder and Lynn Joy looked at the seven deadly sins companies commit when it comes to their proxy disclosure of compensation information. They looked at why companies commit these mistakes and what they can do to avoid committing proxy sins, including how following the golden rule of proxy disclosure-- when in doubt, shout it out (disclose it)--can keep companies out of the penalty box with institutional shareholders. Participants learn some of the do's and don'ts in proxy disclosure including playing \"Go Fish\" with shareholders and ignoring the elephant in the room.
