ESOR
Employee Stock Option Plan
Companies manage and hire top talent with ESOP (Employee Stock Option Plan)!
It is an employee benefits scheme under which the company encourages the employees to acquire ownership in the form of shares at a predetermined rate. Usually, companies issue ESOP to employees to make them stay with their organization for a long time. It motivates the employees to perform better and offer their loyalty to the company.
Suppose an employee receives 400 shares. On completion of every 1 year, 100 shares will be vested. The valuation of the shares increases with the valuation of the company. This also keeps a check on the attrition rate.
Why should we use ESOP?
- ESOPs are a tax-favored strategy that delivers fair value for shareholders.
- Employee Stock Option Plan allows for a “low and slow” ownership transition.
- ESOPs benefit the people who play a constructive role and remain in the company for a long time
- It creates tax-favored independent and sustainable companies.
