An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a benefit scheme that allows employees to own shares in the company they work for, aligning their interests with the company’s performance and long-term growth.
ESOPs are typically offered to permanent employees, senior executives, and key contributors of a company based on performance, tenure, or role, as decided by the company’s ESOP policy and board approval.
For employers, ESOPs help retain talent, boost productivity, and foster a sense of ownership among employees. They also serve as a non-cash incentive to motivate staff and align their goals with company success.
Employees benefit from ESOPs by gaining a stake in the company’s growth, potentially earning wealth through share value appreciation, dividends, and long-term financial security without upfront investment.
Companies offer ESOPs to attract and retain top talent, reward performance, and create a sense of belonging. They also use ESOPs to align employees’ efforts with company profitability and shareholder value creation.
