Executive compensation plans are essential for VC-backed companies that depend on top leaders to steer them toward growth, funding, and long-term success. An executive pay strategy is especially important for early-stage companies, which typically have limited revenue, restricted cash, and an abundance of equity that can easily be awarded too fast and too soon.  But often, startups underestimate how complex executive comp is, or how it differs from the plan for employees. Without a well-designed strategy, poorly designed executive comp plans can lead to hiring and retention problems, internal pay inequity, and low morale for both executives and employees.   To help set your organization up for success, we cover why executive comp is more complex than employee comp, its key elements, and what to consider before designing your plan.  Continuing reading the rest of our blog: https://lnkd.in/eqCyb95S #compensation #execcomp #totalrewards #totalcompandbenefits

As a remote-forward organization with team members all over the U.S. and around the world, ChurnZero was determined to bolster company culture despite the challenges a distributed workforce may bring. To do this, Director of People at ChurnZero Susan Trahan-Rankin wanted to upgrade their benefits strategy, provide employee support, and help navigate her team through all the logistical hurdles associated with total rewards. The company’s previous benefits broker was “doing the basics, but not elevating the experience for our employees,” she said. That's when she turned to Sequoia. “I don’t use Sequoia for just one thing – they manage our U.S. benefits, global strategy, 401k, and now we’re looking at their compensation services,” Susan shared. “For smaller organizations who might think Sequoia won’t be the best fit, just reach out to them. Having the team at Sequoia behind me strengthens every aspect of my job and what I can offer our employees.” See why ChurnZero relies on Sequoia’s guidance and technology to create the best employee experience: https://lnkd.in/eR39GjkQ #employeeexperience #employeebenefits #benefits #benefitsstrategy

Rising healthcare costs continue to pose a challenge for employers as they head into 2025. In a recent webinar hosted by Sequoia with experts from One Medical and Rightway, the discussion shed light on two major trends we need to focus on: ➡️An Escalation in Healthcare Renewals: The year 2024 has brought an alarming surge in healthcare costs. A majority of employers have recorded a 5-8% increase in healthcare renewals, while others have faced unprecedented hikes - entering the double digits. ➡️ Increasing Chronic Disease Prevalence: The prevalence of chronic diseases among Americans has significantly escalated, posing a challenge to healthcare provision and costs. Many of these diseases are preventable, and a shift towards preventive care and early screenings can manage health more efficiently. An integrated approach that combines preventive care with education about health benefits can lead to better chronic disease management - ultimately driving down healthcare costs.
