Malcolm Hurlston: new strategies for broad based share plans and executive equity
ESOP Centre chairman Malcolm Hurlston addressed delegates at the 2012 Davos Global Employee Equity Forum on February 2. His speech focussed on new ways in which companies can motivate and empower their employees through share ownership schemes – opening up to new types of incentives as well as rediscovering old ones. Employee share ownership, he argued, is a necessary tool for companies to contrast the effects of the economic crisis.
Employee share ownership is making a deserved comeback in the
popularity stakes. It serves not only as a business succession tool;
but also as an incentive to encourage better performance and
higher productivity, giving employees a share in the
profit-generating capacity of enterprises.
