The recent developments in the e-commerce industry and startup revolutions have created immense competition among the employers to recruit and retain talented employees. Moreover there are array of job opportunities among the talented employees to choose from. Hence, it has become essential for companies not only to offer high remuneration packages but also attractive incentives to employees, primarily key managerial personnel and senior management to retain them and not lose them to their competitors in the long run.
Such incentives include employee stock option schemes and employee purchase plans, stock appreciation rights, general employee benefit schemes and retirement benefit schemes. These incentives enable the organization to improve the performance capabilities of employees and transform them to growing partners. One such incentive granted to employees and other people in the organization is Phantom Stock. MSI's Chennai accounting member DVS Advisors LLP explains more.
