Key Findings of the Equity Refresh Survey
The equity refresh survey, recently conducted by a talent advisory team, aimed to reveal how companies are shaping their equity refresh programs in the current economic climate. One significant finding indicated that 87% of companies are prioritizing refresh grants based on individual performance, reflecting a shift away from blanket distribution models.
