What is an Employee Share Scheme?
Why do companies implement Employee Share Schemes?
Employee share schemes are designed to align the interests of employees with those of the company’s shareholders and can serve several purposes, including:
Employee Ownership: Employee share schemes allow employees to become partial owners of the company by acquiring shares. This can create a sense of ownership, pride, and loyalty among employees, as they have a stake in the company’s success.
Incentive: Offering shares or stock options as part of compensation can incentivise employees to work harder, perform better, and stay with the company for the long term, as they may benefit from the company’s stock price appreciation.
Talent Attraction and Retention: Employee share schemes can be an attractive benefit for recruiting and retaining top talent. Potential employees may be more inclined to join a company that offers the opportunity to become a shareholder.
Tax Benefits: In some countries, there are tax advantages for both the company and employees when implementing employee share schemes. These tax benefits can vary widely depending on the specific scheme and local tax laws.
