Over the past few months, The ESOP Association has been conducting an expansive market research study looking into attitudes toward ESOPs and employee ownership. Our goal for this ambitious project is to help ESOPs and professional service providers gain an edge in both internal and external communications through data-driven messaging that resonates with target audiences. We are just now starting to receive and analyze the results from this first-of-its-kind study, and we will release the initial findings and key takeaways at next week’s National Conference in Washington, DC.

Communication is incredibly important to help employee owners understand both the financial benefit of the ESOP and shared ownership culture. But when you look around at your company, you may see a multigenerational workforce with varying degrees of knowledge – and comfort – with the ESOP and financial terms.
So how can you effectively communicate the value of the ESOP, and ultimately strengthen your company’s ownership culture, when you have a multi-generational workforce? Here are a few key steps that we’ve seen work in a variety of industries.

Advisors have seen a dramatic uptick in the number of conversations ESOP clients are having around mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) in the past few years.
You might ask what is meant by M&A. The concept is broad and the meaning may be different depending on each company’s situation and needs. Experience shows that ESOP companies historically think of M&A in terms of others acquiring their company either by solicitation or responding to bids from potential acquirers.

In 1986 The ESOP Association’s Board of Directors adopted a change to the bylaws allowing for the organization of subgroups under its legal charter and non-profit recognition. Article VIII, Section 1 of The ESOP Association by-laws provide for groups organized in state or regional areas that are known as “State” or “Regional” Chapters of The ESOP Association. This change allowed for the development of our current structure of 19 chapters across the United States.
