How does an ESOP work?

To know how ESOP works, keep reading below.

  • Allocation of ESOP

    A company has to first decide to allocate ESOPs to employees. It defines the eligibility criteria and the number of shares which will be part of the ESOPs.

  • Vesting Period

    ESOPs are kept in a trust for a certain period. This period is called the vesting period. An employee has to work for the company during this time to reap the ESOP benefits.

  • Buying and Selling Stocks After Vesting Period

    After the vesting period is over, the employee can buy the stocks at a discounted price. Later, the stocks can also be sold as per the ESOP plan.

    Financially Rewarding

    If the price of the company’s stocks is increasing, the value of the ESOP will also increase. Thus, ESOPs can be a very lucrative option for employees.

    Employee Engagement

    ESOPs align an employee’s interests with the company’s interests. Thus, an employee feels engaged in the company’s success.

    Dividend Income

    Companies provide a part of their profits as dividends to shareholders. So becoming a shareholder will also entitle an employee to earning dividend income.

    Job Security

    A company is unlikely to lay off an employee with an ESOP. This enhances the job security of the employee.

Key Takeaways

  • Employee Retention: Offering ESOPs is a smart way for companies to try and retain employees. It encourages employee’s loyalty to an employer.
  • Increased Motivation: When an employee has an ownership stake in a company, it is in her interest for the company to succeed. This improves employee motivation.
  • Diversification: ESOPs help diversify the investment portfolio of an employee.
  • Stock Ownership: As the company scales greater heights, employee stock ownership in the company becomes more and more lucrative.
  • Creating New Leadership: ESOPs can slowly transfer ownership of the company to the next generation, thus passing on the baton.
