The founding director of the Southern Africa Employee Ownership Association (SAEOA), Tendani Nelwamondo, virtually attended the NCEO’s Fall ESOP Forum, where several attendees had a chance to talk with him. The NCEO actively supports the efforts by the SAEOA and Nelwamondo to promote employee ownership in South Africa, and we invite you to join us: please make a donation to the NCEO designated for the SAEOA.

NCEO members have been telling us that they want a creative way to reinforce a sense of team work and community during the pandemic, and courtesy of two of our member companies, we have a suggestion. Hire an employee-owned company to send packages to all employee-owners at your company -- these packages can connect people, celebrate milestones, generate engagement, and create meaningful shared experiences in a new virtual world. Two NCEO member companies, Crêpes à Latte and American Solutions for Business, are standing by to help.

Here are three things I believe: ESOP companies are well-managed, they tend toward being open with information, and they are generous about sharing best practices with each other. If I’m right, then any group of ESOP companies is likely to have better-than-average risk profiles. And if that’s true, it should be possible to translate these characteristics into better insurance opportunities for ESOP companies.
