Each year, TowersWatson conducts a market analysis of the organization's CEO, officers and other key employees. To augment their proprietary data and other data to which they have access, Connecticut Children's provides the results data from salary surveys in which we participate. The analysis and presentation of the data is performed by the TowersWatson representative to the Chief Executive Officer and the members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. Annually the CEO and the Board then discuss salary recommendations for the officers and other key employees and sign off on the final recommendations. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors meets independently with the CEO to discuss his individual performance. Following the performance evaluation, a salary recommendation is made and communicated to the Vice President of Human Resources to authorize processing.
