“Policy and Procedures for Compensation and Performance Review Of Executive Director: The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors shall perform a performance and compensation review of HRW's Executive Director biennially. The following procedure shall be followed in conducting this review: 1.

Several common questions shall be asked in each interview. 3. The interviewing committee members shall discuss and condense their findings in a conference call. Areas where improvement may be warranted shall be presented to and discussed with the full Executive Committee. 4. The Executive Committee shall meet in executive session with the ED to ask for his/her impression of his/her own job performance. 5. The ED shall submit a written self-evaluation. The Executive Committee shall obtain and consider a survey of salaries of comparable CEOs of NGOs of similar size and budget and with a similar mission. 6. The Executive Committee shall meet in executive session to vote on the ED's increased level of compensation, if any. 7.

“Human Rights Watch strives to maintain a competitive compensation system that is in the best interest of both the organization and our employees to appropriately compensate our workforce for the value of the work provided. It is our intention to use an objective and non-discriminatory compensation system based on periodically updated market data across multiple jurisdictions. Compensation is determined based upon external and internal equity within the given jurisdiction, contingent on an incumbent's education and relevant experience; while salary discussions will often include supervising directors, approval may only be granted by the Human Resources Director. Subsequent salary increases are based upon available organizational resources, the current cost of living trend and the employee's performance as evaluated by their immediate supervisor(s).”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available upon request and on its website.”
