Employee Share Ownership Plans Book

About the Book | Sample Chapters | Order Book | Info About ESOP Builders

Employee Share Ownership Plans (ESOPs) are a powerful new tool in a world in which it is no longer business as usual. Whether you want to attract and retain skilled workers, create a succession plan for a family business, combat the "brain drain," recognize the contributions your employees have made to your company's success, or need a way to turn your company around through improvements in productivity and morale, an ESOP could be the win-win solution for your company.
Employee Share Ownership Plans is a comprehensive and practical guide to every aspect of designing and implementing ESOPs:

• Explains the various objectives of an ESOP and the types of plans that exist. Outlines all the processes that are at the foundation of implementing an ESOP.
• Covers the more technical aspects of setting up an ESOP, such as business valuation, tax implications, legal requirements, and creating cross-border or international ESOPs.
• Includes hands-on tools such as sample letters, shareholder agreements, and a comprehensive resource guide to ESOP professionals, web sites, and associations.
• Features case studies, checklists, questionnaires, and frequently asked questions.
This book will help business owners and managers, as well as their professional advisors, create a competitive advantage for any organization, publicly traded or privately owned.

Praise for Employee Share Ownership Plans
"Perry Phillips has been a key player in the development of employee share ownership reforms in Canada over the past decade. His new book, Employee Share Ownership Plans, explains both the rationale for employee ownership and the practical information you need to make it work in your company. This is a welcome and much-needed addition to the library of resources on employee ownership." -- David Binns, Associate Director, Foundation for Enterprise Development, and Former Executive Director of the U.S. ESOP Association

"This is a very timely and important book by one of Canada's most knowledgeable experts on employee ownership. Stock-based compensation is becoming increasingly important in Canadian companies, yet, until this book, there has been no detailed and reliable single source on how these plans work. This is a valuable and important contribution." -- Corey Rosen, Executive Director, National Center for Employee Ownership

" For owner-managers of small corporations who want a way to get their money out and to motivate employees, this book is a bible of good sense. For employees of closely held companies who want to invest in their small firms, it's a definitive plan to bring to management." -- Book review by Andrew Allentuck, Globebooks.com
