The Evolution of Equity Plan Design
For today’s “Meet the Speaker” interview, we feature an interview with Megan Jasionis of Bank of America Merrill Lynch, who will lead the session “The Evolution of Equity Plan Design.” Here is what Megan Jasionis had to say:
NASPP: What are a few key areas your panel will address with respect to your topic?
Megan: Our session will review how granting practices have shifted over time from options, to restricted awards, to performance awards. We will focus on how companies can stay current and competive with their plan design. It is critical that education, communication and measurement components evolve along with the changing plan designs. Hear how to make it all work from three great companies!
NASPP: What common mistake do companies make and how can they avoid it?
Megan: When looking to implement a new plan design, it is critical to have all pieces of the puzzle in place. From consulting with the administration team, to communications, grant agreements, financial reporting and compliance–every aspect needs to be represented. Let us show you how to make it all come together!
NASPP: What is the silver lining to your topic?
Megan: With the right planning and the appropriate teams in place and accounted for, evolving your plan design doesn’t have to be painful!
NASPP: What is your favorite NASPP Conference memory?
Megan: Being in New Orleans! It was a great time along with great sessions!!
