We recognize a continuous interest from companies that want to reward their employees by offering participation in various types of incentive programs.
An incentive program is a complement for companies that want to reward their employees with something else than/in addition to regular salary, benefits and cash bonuses. Through an incentive program, the employees get an opportunity to obtain e.g. shares, options or cash.
Any value/consideration paid from an incentive program is usually linked to continuous employment within the company/company group during a certain vesting period. It may also be conditional upon various performance criteria that need to be fulfilled before benefitting from any value from the program.
