Companies that benchmark against HCKT
6 companies name HCKT as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses HCKT in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named HCKT in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The Company adopts a 'pay-for-performance' compensation program that links a substantial portion of executive compensation to the achievement of financial and operational objectives, specifically annual adjusted diluted net earnings per share targets. The program rewards the achievement of these targets with cash bonuses and performance-based restricted stock units that vest over a minimum three-year period to align executive interests with long-term shareholder value.
