Innovative Services for Employee-Owned Companies

Sharing ownership with employees can have a tremendous positive impact on company performance, but only if people understand ownership and how they can affect it. Workplace Development Inc. (WDI) provides innovative solutions that tap into the motivational impact of sharing ownership with customized education, communication and organizational development services. Our innovative services help employee-owned businesses to achieve the following objectives.

Explain complex plans in layperson’s terms

Using presentations, written materials, pictures and learning games WDI helps firms roll out a new stock plan, ESOP or explain changes to an existing plan. WDI works with you to create an understandable handbook or Summary Plan Description (SPD) that tells participants how your stock ownership plan works.

Make employee ownership real

Stock provided as a benefit – particularly in a qualified plan like an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) – is less tangible and often more complicated than other rewards. WDI provides companies with the tools to clarifying rights, roles and responsibilities of employee ownership so that people can think and act like owners.

Build internal responsibility for ownership education

An essential component of a strong ownership culture is shared responsibility for growing the next generation of owners. WDI provides coaching, tools and resources to company leaders and ESOP committees. We work with those that are just getting started and those that are looking for new enthusiasm.

Develop a culture where employees can think and act like owners

Your company can enjoy improved performance with an environment where employees think and act more like owners. WDI provides coaching and business education that connect daily work to company performance.
