Ireland urged to follow UK in encouraging employee ownership
Marie Flynn
Ireland should follow the UK in introducing tax advantages for employee-owned companies, a business group has said.
The Irish ProShare Association (IPSA) made the call after digital marketing agency Wolfgang Digital became the first Irish-owned company to become employee-owned using an employee ownership trust (EOT), the model popularised by British retailer John Lewis. MORE
The Canadian Employee Ownership era is about to begin
Last week, the final details of a tax incentive to encourage business owners to sell to their employees through the new Employee Ownership Trust were released. Sellers who sell a majority of their companies will be entitled to up to 10M in tax-free capital gains.
This approach follows the US and UK, who have seen massive increases in employee ownership following the introduction of tax incentives. In both countries, as in Canada, these incentives are intended to balance the additional cost, risk and complexity of selling to workers. MORE
Exploring the potential of the Employee Ownershipbusiness model
“Giving all workers a greater stake in the company they work for is a powerful way of aligning the interests of employees with that of the business. A worker who has a financial and personal stake in a company will take more responsibility for its success. The evidence shows that this is reflected in the economic strength of such companies: lower absenteeism, a happier workforce and […] less staff turnover, higher profitability. These companies also tend to be more resilient in tough economic times.” Nuttall Review, 2012

Does Employee Stock Ownership Work? Evidence from publicly-traded firms in Japan
This paper provides novel evidence on the effects of employee stock ownership (ESO), using new panel data on Japanese ESO plans for a highly representative sample of publicly-traded firms in Japan (covering more than 75% of all firms listed on Tokyo Stock Exchange) over 1989-2013. Unlike most prior studies, we focus on the effects of changes in varying attributes of existing ESO—the effects on the intensive margin. Our fixed effect estimates show that an increase in the strength of the existing ESO plans measured by stake per employee results in statistically significant productivity gains. Furthermore, such productivity gains are found to lead to profitability gains since wage gains from ESO plans are statistically significant yet rather modest.
