Is There a Difference in Productivity Between 100% vs. Partial ESOP Companies? Help Us Find Out.
Does a workforce that owns a greater percentage of the company perform better than a workforce with a lesser share?
Here’s what the research shows: the question has never been studied.
That gap matters to the employee ownership field – especially to the Silver Tsunami of retiring business owners considering ESOP design choices and the practitioners who advise them. The stakes are too high to let assumptions drive strategic decisions.
Your Data Can Transform the Employee Ownership Field
Led by our Founder and CEO, Dr. Ellen G. Frank-Miller, an Executive Fellow at the Rutgers Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing, WORC is conducting an anonymous survey to answer this question: Does the degree of employee ownership make a measurable difference in ESOP company productivity?
In just 3 minutes, you can make a difference by anonymously answering 6 questions:
Your ESOP ownership structure (100% or partial)
Your industry
The year your ESOP was established
Your average full-time equivalent (FTE) employee count
Your total revenue
Your direct costs or payroll expense
Your participation is completely anonymous. WORC has no finanical interest in this study and results will be made publicly available.
Your company will never be identified in anything we publish. If you wish, you may receive an advance copy of the research findings by sharing your contact details with us. Your information will never be shared with anyone – ever.
