Career Levels within Career Bands are underpinned by (provide the foundation for) Global GradesCDB MMPS survey participants match to Career Levels and results are present by Career Level Global Grades are not reported in North America, however, a reference with the alignment between Career Levels and Global Grade(s) is included

Career Bands and the individual Career Levels describe the responsibilities, scope and breadth of work, and impact on the organization for incumbents in specific jobs

Functions and Disciplines identify the content and purpose of your organization’s job. Functions represent a broad family of jobs, and disciplines within the function correspond to the area of specialization

Recession forced companies out of “business as usual” mode and the retail experience is changing

Overall, the theme in retail is cautious optimism – balancing the need to remain conservative with heightened retention and engagement concernsNational Retail Foundation predicts modest growth in FY 2010 versus a fall in FY 2009

Retail industry will remain difficult but some relief in sightSeasonal hiring still not reaching pre-recession levels

However, the downturn changed behaviors for both retailers and consumersStores managing inventories to align with consumer spending – consumers heading to e-commerce for broader choicesConsumers looking for value for their money and low prices – retailers focusing on promotions and discountsSocial networking playing a bigger role in consumer spending habits

The recession forced most companies to take multiple cost cutting actions and this focus on cost control will continue

Pay, bonuses and training budgets are the programs organizations are most likely to change if economic or business conditions change substantially in either direction

Retailers are more likely to reduce pay increases (91%) and less likely to eliminate bonuses (41%) when cost cutting is needed

Companies with global operations are moving to increase consistency of their reward and talent management programs

Drivers of the move to more globally consistent design and administration include:

Alignment

Governance

Cost Management

Efficiency

Quality

Talent Mobility

Complexity

Global retailers are balancing the need for local variation with the benefits of global consistency

The pattern of global consistency varies by job level

Multinational organizations are more likely to develop consistent programs for top management

Foundational programs, such as recognition programs and performance management are utilized more frequently across all levels of the organization in global retailers

Trend Implications

Economic recovery leads to increased retention concerns

• Upward pressure on executive compensation levels• Additional weight given to individual vs. corporate performance in annual bonus plans, allowing for greater

differentiation, although most companies continue to heavily weight corporate financial performance objectives

Equity use increases to maximize retention and improve performance alignment

• Longer vesting schedules and “hold-until-retirement” are becoming more common, although three- and four-year vesting remains the most prevalent by far

• Prevalence and level of stock ownership requirements increase (3-5 times salary is most common for CEO)• Performance-based equity now used by over 50% of companies

Goal-setting challenges change the way performance is assessed

• Discretionary, qualitative and strategic goals are more commonplace, although corporate financial goals are still the most prevalent

• Increased use of relative performance measurement, particularly for measuring total shareholder return relative to a peer group or index under performance-based equity plans

• Increased use of capital efficiency and balance sheet measures (i.e., ROE, cash flow, working capital, etc.) in annual incentive plans

Companies reduce perquisites and differentiated benefits for executives in response to shareholder and regulatory pressures

• Most companies are eliminating tax protections (gross-ups) associated with perquisites and new change in control plans or employment contracts; some companies are eliminating them from existing agreements as well

• Double-trigger change in control vesting is nearly universal

Incentive programs are linked to enterprise risk

• More critical focus on compensation planning as it related to succession planning• Renewed focus on balancing short-term and long-term incentives • Continued shift towards longer-term incentives to reinforce the importance of sustainable performance

Disclosure and transparency is emphasized over regulation

• “Principles-based” approach to governance replacing “rules-based” approach• Increased focus on pay for performance driven by Say on Pay votes

The executive compensation landscape continues to evolve based on economic pressures and public, media and government scrutiny

Dodd Frank Say-on-Pay and Say-on-When will create a significant impact on executive compensation

Both a Say on Pay vote and a vote on the frequency of future Say on Pay votes are required in the first year

Many retailers, since they typically have a later fiscal year end, are at an advantage to be able to gauge actual market practice prior to determining their approach

In mid-December, Towers Watson conducted an online poll of 135 U.S. companies and 51% of respondents indicated a preference for annual say-on-pay votes

Towers Watson also is monitoring proxy filings for the first companies holding annual meetings on or after January 21, 2011 and, as of February 21, 2011, 53% of Russell 3000 companies and 53% of Fortune 1000 companies recommended votes every three years

Results for 49 say-on-pay proposals are available so far. Most proposals have won support of 80% or more of the votes cast

Results for frequency proposals suggest companies recommending annual votes will receive broad support for those recommendations, while companies recommending triennial votes could face a split vote

As we emerge from the recession, companies are faced with additional challenges

Continue to get the basics right: competitive base pay and benefits

Respond to increasing demands by employees for security, stability and opportunity that are difficult to meet

Confront the complexities caused by lack of career advancement opportunities for top talent and employees with critical skills

Develop new leadership competencies for their executives to ensure they can manage in the new and changing environment

Manage executive compensation through a complex and highly charged regulatory and governance environment
