In Canada, consultant independence is widely considered a governance best practice. That’s why McLagan’s Canada practice is so valuable to the financial services industry participants. We bring more than 10 years of Canadian compensation data coupled with deep industry knowledge on performance and reward practices to help clients measure effectiveness and stay abreast of emerging trends.

McLagan’s varied consulting engagements have enabled numerous Canadian clients to address their most pressing business and regulatory issues. Projects, which can be targeted to individuals, departments, divisions or industries, include performance benchmarking, incentive and long-term plan design, executive compensation, compensation committee guidance and methods of pay studies.
