ESOP – Are you ready to give employees shares in your company?

Under an employee stock ownership plan (or ESOP), star employees are offered a number of shares in their company.

But do you understand the mechanics of an ESOP?

Take the quiz to test your knowledge!

An employee stock option plan allows companies to attract and retain key talent by:

Incentivising employees to perform well, as their shares value increase as the company grows.

Offering a right to shares at the value when they are initially granted to employees.

Granting share acquisition progressively to allow employees to reap the value over time.

All of the above
