HRadio: Shareholders, government increasingly interested in having a 'say on pay'

A fledgling idea just three years ago, say on pay has taken off -- proposed legislation in both houses of Congress would require all public companies to seek shareholder approval of their executive compensation programs and many believe say on pay will be a reality for all companies in 2010. Amy Knieriem and Ellen Lodwick of Mercer’s Washington Resource Group provide an overview of developments and review 2009 vote results on say-on-pay proposals.  (Access limited, Podcast, 29 Oct 2009)
