An Employee Share Ownership Plan is a stock equity plan for employees that can include stock options, stock purchase, phantom stock or a combination of alternatives. Either key personnel or all employees can be offered shares in the company. ESOPs are a common element of a Business Exit Succession Plan, including a Family Owned Business Succession Plan.
ESOP rules enable employees to acquire ownership in a company from 1% to 100%.
ESOPs can provide the foundation for a high performance company by creating an ownership mentality, which improves employee motivation, productivity and profitability. It can also provide a business exit strategy for a company's principal.
ESOPs allow employee owners to share in the company's success through increased share value. Share investments also have the potential for capital gains that other fixed income investments do not possess.
Starting an effective ESOP allows the company to get long-term commitment from employees by aligning long-term compensation to the risk of the business. An ESOP is effective because the company's success is tied to the efforts of the employees. Employees with a stake in their company's success will take on more responsibility and commitment and treat the company as if it was their own family-owned business.
An ESOP can also:
- Recruit highly skilled individuals to your organization
- Retain key employees thus reducing turnover and training costs
- Maximize commitment to long-term corporate goals
- Profitably manage a fast growing company
- Provide employees with non-cash compensation
- Revitalize existing incentive plans
- Assist with succession planning, including family-owned business succession
In the United States, it is estimated that over 11,000 companies involving over 10 million employees have implemented ESOPs. According to Fortune Magazine's 1997 "Best 100 Companies in America to Work For", about one third of these companies had 10% or more of their shares owned by employees. These include successful companies such as Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Procter & Gamble, Cisco, Intel, Xerox, Motorola and Merrill Lynch.
