Frequently Asked Questions

What organizations do you advise?

We advise large public companies, to small private companies to non-profits

How can I choose the best executive compensation consultant for my business?

First ask your prospective consultant about their industry experience and success with similar projects. Zayla has a long track record of making innovative recommendations for compensation strategy, and the boardroom EQ to navigate complex relationships. We only take on a new project if we believe we can dedicate the necessary time to successful implementation.

How does a pay equity analysis help my company?

Zayla’s pay equity analysis can help your company identify pay gaps between people in similar positions and with similar talent and results, but who may be of different genders, ages, ethnicities. It’s especially helpful in identifying protected groups that may not be obvious to HR teams.

How can an expert witness help me?

We have deep expertise in compensation litigation, developed over 25 years of testifying in legal cases. We know what kind of information judges and juries are looking for, and provide confident conclusions on topics like reasonable compensation.

How often should I evaluate (or re-evaluate) my long-term incentive plans?

We typically recommend reviewing your long-term incentive plans as frequently as you mark awards. For most companies these awards are made annually or every other year.

Do you offer ESG compensation services?

We develop compensation plans that incorporate ESG to inspire your team to do better—for the organization, your customers, and the community.  Poor ESG performance can lead to a variety of problems, including legal action and its associated costs, and sinking share prices. But beyond its financial impact on a company, focusing on ESG is simply the right thing to do. From customers to investors, today’s stakeholders are more interested than ever in policies that protect the environment, promote community, and demonstrate good leadership.
