HR Directors and compensation packages definition

"In the near future, the relationship between the HR and the Remuneration committee should evolve and grow closer, while maintaining the latter's independence" points out Francesco Surace, Corporate Governance Advisory in Sodali.

A principal task of the HR Director on the Board is to be accountable to shareholders in defining compensation packages that, in essence, are closely linked to corporate strategy and ensure an adequate incentive and challenging level of compensation, but prevents excessive risk taking by the latter.
