This year marks O'Connells OBM's 10th anniversary as a Certified #BCorporation!
Business is a vehicle that can create a positive impact on the lives of those who are connected to it, and we believe that if a business can be run in such a way that allows employees to think, act and feel like business owners – powerful and positive things can happen.
There are many ways businesses can foster this type of culture within their organisation - from using Open Book Management (the OBM in our name!) to include your team in the running of the business, through to physical ownership through a structured ESOP (Employee Share Ownership Plan).
Our Director, and founder of The Goods | Good Business, Great Life, Adam Dierselhuis will be joining Quiip and Marque Lawyers at #BCorpAssembly2024 next week to dive into the why and how of employee ownership. Alongside Alison Michalk and Kristy Dixon, Adam will be sharing his experience as both the owner of a business running an ESOP and as a chartered accountant with the technical know-how to successfully implement such plans, the three will candidly unpack the motivations, tensions, and practical challenges of introducing the benefit for employees.
If you're interested in learning more about Employee Share Ownership Plans, or the B Corporation community and certification, leave us a comment below and we will happily keep the conversation going.
Have you participated in, or implemented, an ESOP Program before? How did it impact your business and team culture? Share your experience in the comments so we can learn from one another.
