The pandemic is a critically important time to conduct research exploring how businesses and their employees have fared, and what are successful ways to reduce the negative impacts from this crisis. Employee ownership is a key factor to be explored in this context. The challenge has always been collecting comparison data on companies without employee ownership. With funding from the Employee Ownership Foundation, scholars at Rutgers University’s Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing recently took on this challenge working with the national survey firm, SSRS.

October is Employee Ownership Month, and this year we celebrated it along with Dialectic’s recent recognition as one of Kansas City Business Journal’s Best Places to Work (BPTW). There are a lot of reasons we’re a BPTW winner, but one of the biggest is something I’m passionate about: our employee ownership model.

It also claims to be employee-owned, which, if true, would make it the second-largest majority employee-owned company in the world, just after Publix in the US.
