Strategic planning is not just for executive leadership or the management team. I would go so far to say that the execution of your strategy happens with those employees who are closest to the customer, the product, or the service: The Front-Line Employees! If you believe in this assumption, you should be including them in developing your organization’s strategy. If you want their buy-in, you must get their input. If you want their input, you must first teach them about the business. You can start by teaching them how to set objectives, goals, tactics, and measures.

The history of M. Dyer Global started off with the vision of Medford Dyer back in the late 1960s. At the time, only a few agents assisted the Department of Defense with logistic services in the Pacific. He started M. Dyer & Sons in 1968 when his oldest son was still in elementary school. He purchased a few trucks and a forklift by mortgaging his house, rented a warehouse, and soon after, about a dozen employees joined him to start M. Dyer & Sons.

An ESOP can connect employee actions with company success, but that doesn’t automatically result in employee-owners taking responsibility for the success of the company. Sharing financial information is a critical first step to provide employee-owners with an understanding of how the business is doing. In addition, it’s essential to build people’s financial literacy and create systems for participation that empower employee-owners to act on the financial information shared and positively impact company performance.

Employee Equity Investment Act Would Expand Employee Ownership by Increasing Critical Access to Capital for ESOPs
Washington, D.C. – The ESOP Association today praised the introduction of the bipartisan Employee Equity Investment Act (EEIA) in the House and Senate.
The legislation aims to grow employee ownership in the U.S. by helping to dramatically improve the way new ESOPs are financed by providing much-needed access to capital, which has long been an impediment to new ESOP formation.
