Changing Mindset
ESOP’s allow employees connect to the equity in their company. The intention is that they will think and act like business owners. It creates an incentive structure which aligns employees’ lifestyle and financial goals with business objectives. The result is a cohesive and committed team. They are all working toward and sharing the benefits of a successful and profitable business.
This happens with businesses that use Employee Share Ownership Plans.
As Warren Buffet says “Employees are keen to climb the ladder to equity. But someone needs to provide the ladder.”
There is a step up in performance and attitude when a business owner shows the employees how they can benefit from the increase in profitability and capital value of the business. It’s not “giving it away”. It’s sharing part of something that is bigger because everyone is part of it. When they are part of the rewards of their labours, employees feel more valued. Having clarity on what they need to do to improve value leads to the actions necessary to achieve the outcomes.
