The Time for Employee Ownership Is Now

It’s a uniquely exciting time to be in the employee ownership space. Multiple pieces of legislation are being introduced and voted on both federally and in states across the nation. State centers around the country are back hosting in-person events that are boldly moving the employee ownership community forward. And here in North Carolina, we’re on the ground helping make employee ownership happen.

Can ESOPs Help Recreate Social Trust in America?

America is facing a crisis of social trust. Measure after measure confirms we increasingly don’t trust our institutions or each other. There are a lot of reasons for this, including people being less involved in group activities, the rise of the internet, cable news, and growing economic insecurity. This is all made worse by the fact that a tiny percentage of the population owns most of America, creating a sense among all sides that the system is just unfair.

Learning About Employee Ownership from Those Who Made the Leap

I and my colleagues at the NCEO are big proponents of learning about something from those who have gone through it. What better way to get information on what something is like than to talk to somebody with real-world experience? It's all well and good to learn in other ways but, removed from a human perspective, it can all start to seem a bit theoretical.
