Diversity and inclusion metrics absent from executive remuneration: How worried should we be?

SINGAPORE companies are way behind the curve when it comes to incorporating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) metrics into executive remuneration, a study has found.

Global advisory WTW says that none of the companies in its Singapore sample had such metrics, whereas two-fifths have done so globally.

On the face of it, the finding is disturbing. Despite much talk about a greater recognition of diversity, in particular gender diversity, in the workplace, it would appear that Singapore companies aren’t incorporating such concerns into their incentives.
