Retaining top talent is one of the biggest challenges facing companies in today’s competitive labor market. And company leaders know that compensation is king.

According to findings from Towers Watson’s 2014 Global Workforce and Global Talent Management and Rewards Studies, base pay/salary is the top driver of employee retention. This makes equity compensation a vital component of an employee benefit package. In addition, a recent GuideSpark study found that almost 50% of employees surveyed wish they had better training in communicating better compensation and benefits, and one-third of managers don’t feel equipped to handle compensation conversations with their direct reports.
