What is an ESOP?
An ESOP is a retirement plan—but also a way of living and running a company. For insights on both technical and cultural aspects of these plans—which provide benefits to employee owners, the company, the community, and exiting owners—and links to additional resources, see our web page titled What is an ESOP?

A few weeks ago, during Employee Owned 2024, The ESOP Association announced several major changes that are underway for the future of the Employee Owned conference in Las Vegas. Perhaps the biggest of these changes is an all-new location starting with EO25.

However, this problem quickly bloomed into an opportunity, as it allowed us to set a new direction for the conference going forward

Is your ESOP providing the promised employee motivation, enhanced customer satisfaction and improved profitability? If no, you’re not alone. While studies have demonstrated ESOPs can be powerful tools to strengthen company performance and employee morale and retention, these results are only achieved if stock ownership is combined with a strong employee-owned culture.
