Mini-cast 240: Talking to Young Workers About Employee Ownership

Bret Keisling spoke by Zoom to an ESOP company's employee owners meeting and was asked for advice on how to talk to young workers about employee ownership. He shares his answer here. Don't focus on the ESOP as a "qualified retirement plan." Instead focus on the fact that employee owners build wealth and equity over time. He suggests having young owners talk to their non-employee-owner peers who don’t get annual statements showing an increase in wealth and equity. Finally, EO often addresses many of the issues young people want in jobs: fair compensation, meaningful work, and the opportunity to participate in the workplace.
