As we all know, October is Employee Ownership Month, my favorite time of year. It’s a time when ESOPs across the nation celebrate the pride, passion, and unity that we all feel as employee owners. It’s always inspiring and heartening for me to see the many different ways ESOPs engage with employee owners and their communities during EOM. Many ESOPs focus internally, with activities that celebrate their ownership culture and further educate employee owners about the unique value their ESOP provides.

For nearly the last decade, the Employee Ownership Foundation has provided the funding necessary to collect data regarding employee ownership as part of the General Social Survey (GSS). This survey, and the data it produces, is considered the gold-standard for data used by academic researchers interested in studying the American population. The data is openly available and has subsequently been used by academics to better understand Americans’ attitudes toward employee ownership and the impact it has on their lives. This new report published by Dr. Joseph Blasi and Dr. Doug Kruse of Rutgers University analyzed the newest release of GSS data and observed the overwhelming and uniquely bi-partisan support for employee ownership across all demographics and citizen profiles.
