How employee share ownership can benefit you

The term ‘employee share ownership’ refers to all schemes in which your employees can be included, directly or indirectly, in the shareholding structure of your company.

There are different approaches to such an arrangement: from the mere tax optimisation of the employee remuneration (through the implementation of a share option plan to the transfer of (all or part of) the company’s shares to your employees. 
Employee share ownership is a win-win for both your employees and your company, but proper preparation is essential. After all, its implementation has a significant impact on your company’s future, its governance and your financial strategy.
