A global lithium-ion battery cell manufacturer preparing for a US IPO has brought in a Global Head of Rewards, appointed as a full-time consultant. The task is to design how the company rewards its people before, during and after the listing, across its operations in the US, Europe and Asia.
Listing changes the rules on pay. Schemes have to meet public company requirements while keeping new and existing staff motivated through the transition. The appointee has done this before, with US IPO experience that includes a Nasdaq listing, and brings the hands-on approach and board-level judgement the brief called for.
