Employees who think and act like owners

Studies show that employee ownership can have a positive impact on motivation, stability and company growth. This ownership effect is multiplied by 3 or 4 times when employees are engaged, informed and aware of how they can impact company performance.

Sometimes people get the wrong idea about employee ownership.

Won’t motivation and culture change automatically when account balances grow?

Not necessarily. Skepticism and denial can squelch the motivational benefits of sharing ownership. Commitment to your ownership mindset is a process that is not directly related to the dollars in the benefit.

Do employees get financial information when employees are owners?

Some companies choose to share more information, but it is not required. Companies make a choice about the best way to create effective two-way communication about performance.

Does employee ownership mean the company no longer needs leaders?

Absolutely not! Just like any business, employee-owned companies must have a good structure for decision making. In addition, they need managers with the skills and knowledge for leading owners.
