Employee share ownership - The CIPD

Employee share ownership is a growing part of reward strategy in the UK. This briefing, written in conjunction with Bacon and Woodrow, explores the schemes available, and why and how they are used. Tax treatment, structure, operation and administration, purpose and benefits of employee share schemes, and how share schemes should be integrated with HR and reward strategy are all covered. Key questions for organisations are explored:
- Do employee share schemes support a company's strategic objectives?
- Are they effectively managed and communicated, and how do they fit in with other elements of the reward package?
- Are they part of the remuneration package, a tax-free 'perk' or part of the company's strategy for involvement and paticipation?

This briefing provides all the information, background and expert insight practitioners need to reach their own conclusions and make informed decisions on the role and management of employee share schemes.
