  2. did you know?

  3. $213 B in US ESOP’s Of the estimated $8 trillion of corporate equity in the United States, employees own about $213 billion through ESOPs and similar stock plans

  4. 8–11% Faster growth ESOP companies that combine employee ownership with a participative management style grow 8-11 % per year faster than they otherwise would have.

  5. 11,500 companies & 9 million employees In the United States, more than 11,500 companies have an ESOP covering almost 9 million employees.

  6. “People are definitely a company’s greatest asset. It doesn’t make any difference whether the product is cars or cosmetics. A company is only as good as the people it keeps” - Mary Kay Ash Competitive Edge

  7. Performance examples!

  8. What are you telling your staff by the way you pay them ? Rewarding key people who are already collaborating to drive the business !

  10. Key people as business owners ?

  11. “Employee ownership is world changing. It is the way ahead…in the global economy. It reflects that human capital is becoming more important than physical assets… The global economy will succeed when employees feel a stake in the business” Gordon Brown MP – Chancellor of the Exchequer

  12. Sharing the profit “The truth is that profit sharing doesn’t create employee involvement - it requires it.” Ricardo Semler

  13. Ladder to Equity

  14. 1. Employee – earning income (salary/wage/hourly rates etc. ) – this is where most employees sit ( and stay ). 2. Income model – the first step on the ladder then is to boost that income and this is quite common – we often see companies paying bonuses, commissions on sales, incentives etc. to increase an employee’s income.

  15. 3. Profit share – most equity plans begin with this simple step and in fact many end at this step – simply providing a share of profits to employees is a great additional incentive as they are directly rewarded as a result of the financial performance of the company in the same way that a business owner typically would be.

  16. 4. Equity – whilst there are many equity plans available our Peak Performance Trust provides a formal structured mechanism to incorporate stages three, four and five into any business succession plan - this allows employees to transition into an equity ownership position within the business they work for.

  17. 5. Control – often this step is never utilised though on occasion has substantial benefits in terms of succession not only of business management but also ownership. Ultimately control means that employees can be transitioned through the earlier four stages and end up in a position of control – this may be that they take over general management or CEO of the company, it may be that they end up with a seat on the board at some future date however this step is not to be rushed

  24. Ty Blanche - LJ Hooker: “We have created a more understanding team of people, and added value to the individual’s performance congruently.”

  25. “both financial services and property management referrals from employees participating in this scheme increased at a higher level than before.  I put this down to their seeing value in contributing to the company’s bottom line because they will share in the profit.”
