On the other hand, companies looking to support their talent need to understand the evolving expectations of employees and potentially adjust their offerings to stay ahead.

COMPENSATION CLAWBACKS UNVEILED: NAVIGATING NEW RULES WITH URGENCY 
Compensation clawback rules are becoming increasingly stringent, impacting companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges. This session will provide vital insights into the new U.S. securities rules and stock exchange requirements that mandate the adoption of executive incentive compensation clawback policies. We will explore the implications, challenges, and urgent actions Canadian companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges must take to ensure compliance and avoid potential delisting. 

EQUITY - KEEPING IT REAL AND RELEVANT TODAY 
In a landscape characterized by high inflation, economic uncertainty, intensified climate and regulatory risks, and fluctuating employee turnover, the appeal of share ownership has diminished. Moreover, employees, influenced by market conditions and the availability of alternative compensation options, may undervalue the potential benefits of equity incentives compared to cash rewards. This session aims to explore effective approaches to ensure that equity programs deliver their intended retention and incentive benefits in today's dynamic environment.
