“Wall Street Journal” Highlights Employee Ownership

On The February 7, 2008 the Wall Street Journal highlighted ESOPs with a full-page of ESOP articles at http://online.wsj.com/small-business/small-business-link. This is one of the best explorations of employee ownership in a major publication in many years.  Below are links to the individual articles.

Employee ownership can solve some problems but it can come with its own issues.

• How to Get Workers to Think and Act Like Owners
• Manufacturer Pushes Stock Diversification
• Sale Gives PR Firm the Benefits of Becoming Employee-Owned
• QA: A Homegrown Approach to Business Literacy
• Recommended Reading from an Employee-Owned Company

The articles were the product of a suggestion to the “Wall Street Journal” from Corey Rosen, the executive director of the National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO). The NCEO is a great resource on employee ownership. I serve on their board and also spoke with one of the reporters. For more information please visit www.nceo.org.
