For Employers

Gerson Lehrman Group® and the GLG Councils^SM

Gerson Lehrman Group (GLG) connects leading corporations, investment firms, non-profit corporations and other consumers of professional knowledge with some of the world’s leading experts to better understand industry issues and trends. In addition to this marketplace of expertise, GLG also arranges educational interactions between its clients and members of the GLG Councils–an expert network of academics, scientists, industry professionals and other thought leaders worldwide. Council Members, as we refer to experts in the GLG Councils, are paid at an hourly rate and can make honoraria payable to employer.

Council Members often find their participation with GLG valuable for their professional development. Projects can be scheduled after hours or at such other times as required by our Council Members.

Types of Projects and Benefits of Participation

Council Members interact with our clients through:

• Telephone consultations (typically lasting less than one hour)
• Online surveys (typically lasting less than 30 minutes)
• In-person meetings
• Written reports and analysis
• GLG News. GLG News is a publishing platform that allows Council Members to publish their opinions and analysis of important industry developments and discover insightful analysis from their peers.

GLG invites a select group of professionals to join GLG Member Programs. Council Members not enrolled in GLG Member Programs may only participate in a limited number of consultations and online surveys. In order to enroll in Member Programs, most employed Council Members must provide GLG with written consent from their employers.

Systems to Manage Expert Networks

Gerson Lehrman Group interactions must follow rigorous compliance standards. All experts must sign a detailed Terms and Conditions contract before joining the GLG Councils. Among other things, the Terms and Conditions contract requires Council Members to agree to the following:

• Consult only in accordance with other obligations
• Decline any project that presents a conflict of interest
• Not discuss confidential information or other proprietary information
• Not discuss or to speak on behalf of their employer (unless their company has granted specific written permission to GLG that they may do so)

Council Membership Terms and Conditions

You can view the Terms and Conditions of Council Membership at http://www.glgroup.com/tandc.aspx. Council Members are also required to complete a tutorial on confidentiality and GLG's compliance rules before joining the GLG Councils (and thereafter annually). This tutorial is viewable at http://www.glgroup.com/Tutorial.html.

Compliance Framework

GLG clients are subject to a similar agreement with similar restrictions, protections and requirements. Learn more about GLG's compliance framework at http://www.glgroup.com/Compliance-Guide.html. We make clear to our clients that Council Members must act in accordance with their agreements and that clients must respect the limitations each Council Member has in their ability to consult.

Institutional Registry

If there are guidelines, prohibitions or limitations that an employer wishes to put in place regarding employee participation in the GLG Councils, employers may register their preferences through our Institutional Registry at (http://www.glgroup.com/Registry.asp). GLG's systems have the ability to, for example, embed an employer's conflict of interest policy into the emails we send to employees of that company. There is no cost to use this system.
