Partner Statement
At Zereon Associates, we provide multidisciplinary, superb quality, strategic AND hands-on business, organizational and people management boutique consulting, advisory, speaking and training services, for organizational decision makers in different types of industries and business models.
Within our Reward, Board Affairs and Stock-based Pay business line, we dedicate our contributions to bring about the best Reward schemes for our esteemed clientele – and their employees.
We do this in line with our Values of Excellence, Integrity, Cooperation and Sustainable Economic Value Creation – which means that we do advocate a Fair Pay philosophy and initiatives in our clients whenever and wherever possible, and apply our technical Rewards expertise, statistics and software know-how to ensure professional implementation of such Fair Pay approaches.
On a more personal note – we have directly seen the negative individual and professional effects of “sticky floors”, “glass ceilings” and the like in work and corporate environments, and disagreeing with such practices, we do contribute towards education, improvement, and effective resolution.
