Employee Stock Ownership Plans

Trust and allegiance to your company.

If you represent one of the approximately 11,500 Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) companies in the United States, you are familiar with the benefits and challenges of running fair and open elections. The advantages are clear: When companies offer their employees an opportunity to choose their ESOP representatives and guide policy through accessible elections, the members report greater trust in – and allegiance to – their company. Simply put, good elections are good for business.

Nevertheless, implementing these elections requires an enormous amount of staff time and energy. At the core of any election are concerns about confidentiality, accuracy and security. Breaches in any of these areas can compromise an ESOP’s reputation, invite speculation and even expose the company to costly litigation. This is why an increasing number of ESOP companies are enlisting the help of third-party vendors to manage their elections.
