IPAC would like to welcome you to the free webinar on Wednesday, Jan 27th 2021. 9:00 am PST Building an Employee Ownership Economy - Register now from: https://www.ipac.ca/iCore/Events/Event_Display.aspx... Employee ownership is one of the best tools of an inclusive wealth agenda: it is proven to increase the resilience of firms, keep jobs in local economies and grow the wealth of middle-class workers. It's mainstream in the United States, where over 10M employees share in $1.4T in wealth through their ownership in 6,400 companies. Employee Ownership is also growing rapidly in the UK, with 100 employee ownership conversions a year. Canada, in contrast, has very little employee ownership. The reason comes down to public policy. Both the US and UK have instituted a corporate form called the Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), along with some incentives to support the growth of employee ownership. As policy makers wrestle with "building back better," bringing the EOT to Canada is a clear part of the solution. Social Capital Partners' recent report "Building an Employee Ownership Economy" details the benefits of employee ownership, the barriers in Canada today and charts a straightforward path to breaking them down.
