Employee share ownership:
leveraging performance

Employee share ownership serves as a powerful tool for aligning the interests of employees, shareholders, and executives, while fostering improved business performance.

 

In this context, alister assists clients in designing and implementing performance-based objectives—whether individual or collective—rewarded through the allocation of equity with preferential rights.

Executive employee share ownership:
building a new governance model

Putting into place an executive employee ownership structure enables management staff to benefit from mechanisms for progressive and collective participation in the company’s equity as a reward for their commitment to the business’s objectives.

 

Executive personnel ownership structures can also lay the groundwork for reshaping corporate governance and preparing for business succession, incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles.
