Journey to an Ownership Culture; Insights from the ESOP Community

by Esop Association

Overview

The first Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) was launched in 1956, but few people knew about it, and even fewer understood it. Today, over 10,000 companies offer some form of ESOP. These are companies who have decided that the best way to operate is to create an environment where everyone shares in the responsibilities and the rewards of ownership. Journey to an Ownership Culture tells many stories, in the words of the business leaders who have developed and maintained both successful and not-so-successful ESOPs. These first-person accounts are filled with practical advice, usable guidelines, legislation and regulations involved in creating an ESOP, the pitfalls to avoid, and how-to examples. A useful handbook for all present or future business owners, their employees, business libraries, and corporations. An essential purchase for libraries supporting a business collection.
