Subject field(s)
  • Remuneration (Personnel Management)
  • Financial Institutions
CONT

Compensation practices at large financial institutions were a key contributing factor to the global financial crisis. … The [Financial Stability Board] Principles [for Sound Compensation Practices] require compensation practices in the financial industry to align employees’ incentives with the long-term profitability of the firm. The Principles call for effective governance of compensation, and for compensation to be adjusted for all types of risk, to be symmetric with risk outcomes, and to be sensitive to the time horizon of risks.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Rémunération (Gestion du personnel)
  • Institutions financières
CONT

Les rémunérations constatées avant la crise de 2008 dans le secteur financier ont simultanément encouragé et reflété une prise de risque excessive, préjudiciable à la stabilité financière. La révision et la surveillance des pratiques de rémunération constituent donc une part essentielle des efforts entrepris depuis lors pour prévenir l’instabilité financière.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Neology and Linguistic Borrowing
DEF

A shortage of candidates with true leadership attributes.

CONT

Roger E. Levien, vice president of strategy at Xerox, would go further. ’It is that, plus the continuing trade deficit, the S&L crisis, the educational deficit, the decline of our once-great cities, the erosion of our economic infrastructure, the persistence of an underclass locked in a cycle of poverty, violence and despair. And against that backdrop, the leadership deficit. Nobody is offering credible answers or a Churchillian call to arms. ’

OBS

"Leadership" involves having the ability to lead and "deficit" implies that there are not enough candidates with such qualities as integrity, courage and strength to face the problems that arise when running a nation. If separated, these two words can lexically stand on their own and therefore they are formed by a compound word.
