💸 There’s little need to debate the benefits of employee equity programs, which allow employees to become co-owners of the company and profit from its growth in value. The positive impact on hiring, motivation, retention, and company culture is clear.

⚖️ But having some kind of ESOP is one thing — having the right ESOP is another. The ideal program should align with the expectations of your company, its owners, and its employees, while balancing governance requirements, tax burdens, and the timing of employee payouts.

📊 You can choose from:
👉 Direct stock transfer programs (with immediate or deferred taxation)
👉 Virtual equity schemes
👉 And — starting next year — potentially also from tax-advantaged option plans

🛠️ In this workshop, we’ll take a closer look at these options and discuss when each one makes the most sense.
