Mid-summer brings with it a regular cadence for most businesses and employees. For families, school is out, summer programs have begun, and vacations are on the calendar. For many businesses, summertime brings seasonal accelerations as well. Construction of all types is well under way to hit deadlines while the sun is shining. Hospitality and entertainment are in full swing, as more Americans are out and about in the nice weather.

I am hearing increasingly from certain thought leaders that current ESOP laws do not create “good” employee ownership plans.
Anytime we ESOP advocates encounter someone who takes such a view of ESOPs, we need to ask ourselves, “Why does that person think ESOPs are not good employee ownership plans?” When we know the answer, we can counter the ESOP cynic’s point of view.
In my experience, there are three main criticisms of ESOPs. I’ll deal with each one in a separate blog post.
The first criticism maintains that ESOPs are bad retirement plans.

But new insights gleaned from existing research data show that, over a period of 12 years, businesses with employee stock ownership have gotten increasingly and dramatically better than conventionally owned firms at retaining employees.
How much better? Try 235 percent better!
