The headlines typically focus on public companies\u2014and, more specifically, on Fortune 500 CEOs. Lumping all chief executives and senior executives in together based on this small subset, as if they\u2019re some homogeneous pack, is, of course, intellectually lazy. But more pragmatically, the lack of information for private companies across all revenue ranges\u2014which form the largest part of American enterprise\u2014means many organizations make uninformed and reactive compensation decisions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Further muddling the compensation landscape, the pandemic has forced companies to adjust their executives\u2019 base pay to navigate the crisis. As businesses begin to adapt to a Covid world, there\u2019s never been a more challenging time to ensure they offer competitive compensation programs to attract, retain and align the top talent that will ensure the health of their businesses. To succeed in a post-Covid environment, companies will need to be proactive with their pay strategy, rather than reacting\u2014often too late\u2014after top talent walks out the door.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Enter Chief Executive.<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/Compreport.ChiefExecutive.net\">In our just-released 2020-21 CEO &amp; Senior Executive Compensation Report for Private Companies<\/a><\/strong>, we dug into the immediate impacts of Covid on leadership pay and found that 37 percent of private companies in the U.S. reduced their CEO\u2019s base salary in 2020 in response to the crisis\u2014the majority of which report cuts of 10 percent to 30 percent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-146217\" src=\"https:\/\/chiefexecutive.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Reduced-Salary.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1782\" height=\"1304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chiefexecutive.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Reduced-Salary.png 1782w, https:\/\/chiefexecutive.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Reduced-Salary-600x439.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1782px) 100vw, 1782px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-146216\" src=\"https:\/\/chiefexecutive.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Base-Salary-Reductions.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1630\" height=\"1246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chiefexecutive.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Base-Salary-Reductions.png 1630w, https:\/\/chiefexecutive.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Base-Salary-Reductions-600x459.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1630px) 100vw, 1630px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Perhaps unsurprisingly, nearly 70 percent of companies in the restaurant industry slashed CEO pay.
