When everyone has a seat at the table, employee-owners gain a different mindset for their company and job. They work harder and more efficiently when motivated by a larger purpose.

Having a common stake in a company’s success gives employee-owners a greater sense of responsibility for their work performance and the collective efforts of the team.

Empowering employee-owners as decision makers improves trust, diversity of thought, communication, collaboration, and outcomes.

The employee-ownership model rewards skill, knowledge, and leadership at every level from the c-suite to the entry-level worker. Research shows employee-owners have higher wages, retirement savings, benefits, and job quality than non-owner peers regardless of industry or demographics.

Employee-owners more frequently report their companies as excellent places to work. Research shows that employee-owned businesses have significantly lower voluntary turnover and generate better financial results than peers.
