Employees can acquire ownership interests in businesses through a benefit programme called the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). It is a corporate finance tactic that ties shareholder and employee interests together. Until the employee leaves the company or retires, the company typically maintains the shares given to employees in a trust for their protection and growth.
It’s common practice to employ a neutral third party’s services when creating an ESOP. Any organisation or business that wants to establish such a programme can get support from Dedserve.
Similar in purpose, Employee Welfare Trusts (EWT) are created to address employee welfare requirements, such as paying for child care, medical bills, and special costs not covered by remuneration.
