Does anyone offer employees the choice of accepting an LTI grant in the form of equity or cash?

If by LTI, you mean long term incentives, I know many companies that do so...but all are publicly traded. I suggest you talk to an HR consultant who is familiar with exec bnft plans because the laws/rules changed just recently.

An LTI grant that consists of company stock of a public company is the equivalent of cash once vested.

If you are considering LTI as pure cash instead of stock then the executive has a lot less skin in the game. The concept behind most LTI plans is to have this payoff based on having the same risk as the shareholders.

Mnay companies do off a mix of of stock and cash.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
