Success in the hotel, restaurant, gaming and retail industries is based on the ability to attract, retain and motivate superior talent. Furthermore, organizations must have fair and transparent reward plans that can stand up to public scrutiny. The most tangible way to accomplish this is by linking pay and performance. HVS offers you an integrated approach to compensation management balanced with an intimate knowledge of the industries we serve.

Why use an industry boutique, such as HVS, versus a generalist firm? Foremost, we understand the underlying business metrics that drive success. Our practice leaders are professionally certified, have prior operating experience in each industry and are located in one of 24 global offices. In addition, you can tap into the largest source of industry compensation data through HCE Data Services™.

Our intent is to offer you an independent viewpoint and a customized solution. We believe that one size does not fit all. Tailored approaches are available in the following core competencies:

• Analysis of existing/proposed total compensation plans
• Incentive plan design that fosters value creation based on industry and company specific metrics
• In conjunction with counsel, negotiate and draft employment contracts, change-in-control and severance provisions
• Create board director compensation plans
• Serve as consultant of record to compensation committees
• Communication and implementation of newly created programs
• Expert witness testimony and litigation support
• Provide customized data reporting from HCE Data Services™
