Peer Group Development Services

Peer group analysis and development services

Now more than ever, it is critical for your company to use a coherent methodology for selecting peer companies for benchmarking purposes. A well developed peer group can help you in assessing competitive executive pay, employment contracts, BOD pay, and company performance. Top 5 can help you define a new peer group, or help you update your current group. We use a rigorous methodology to create peer groups that apply rational and objective criteria. You benefit by having a peer group that has "buy-in" from your executive staff and the Board, and that meets investor expectations.

We begin the peer comparison process by interviewing your compensation committee chairman and/or executives to determine the factors most important in identifying comparable peer companies. We can help you develop a rationale for including or excluding companies based on consistent, defensible criteria.

Whether it's for executive compensation, Board pay, or industry performance measures, we can help you navigate the process and devise a truly representative peer group.
