Total direct pay for non-employee board members at the largest U.S. companies increased moderately again this year, with overall growth driven primarily by rising stock values, according to Towers Watson's latest annual analysis of director pay trends among  Fortune 500 companies. Annual pay for outside directors increased 4% at the median and has reached the quarter-million-dollar mark for the first time in our study. Two out of five companies made a change to one or more core elements of their director pay program this year, up slightly from the 38% that made modifications last year. While there were some interesting adjustments made to cash pay programs this year, the total cash pay figure remained flat, indicating that the total compensation increase was driven primarily by higher stock values.

For our latest analysis, Towers Watson's Executive Compensation Resources group reviewed director pay levels and practices among  Fortune 500 companies that filed proxies prior to June 30, 2015, to identify new benchmarks and year-over-year trends.

高管薪酬报告： 基于股权的薪酬继续推动在外董事的酬劳

通过韬睿惠悦对于财富500强企业董事薪酬的最新年度分析指出， 美国最大的非员工董事会成员的直接薪酬总额今年再度增加，并伴随着以整体增长为导向的股票价值的上升。外部董事的年度薪酬的中值增加了4%，并在我们的研究中第一次仅1/4季度就达到了百万美金。在今年的五家公司中，有两家公司对薪酬计划的一个或多个核心要素进行了调整，在去年38%的基础上做了微调。虽然今年对于现金支付计划做出了一些有趣的改动，但总薪酬的数据依然保持平稳，这表明总补偿的增加依然是由较高的股票价值所驱动的。

对于我们的最新分析，韬睿惠悦公司的高管薪酬资源部门已经审查了财富500强企业在2015年6月30日之前提交的代理情况，已确定新一年的基准和一年来的趋势。（对于去年的分析，看到"股权的反击"：较大的股票价值驱动外部董事薪酬的增加。行政修正公告，2014年9月24日。）查看我们新分析，点击"下载PDF"查看我们的最新的高管薪酬报告。
