As a listed company, you may want a share scheme to motivate and reward one or more of your key people, by aligning their rewards with returns to shareholders.

Alternatively, you may want to make share ownership available as an incentive for everyone in your company by introducing an All Employee Share Scheme.  This type of share scheme enables the employees together to hold shares or share options comprising a minority interest in their company, with the majority of shares being held by founders or other investors.

Offering all employees the opportunity to own shares can be a useful strategy in developing your business, as it helps sustain motivation, engagement and long-term commitment to the wellbeing of the company.

The main forms of share scheme for all or most employees in a company are Save As You Earn (SAYE) Options and the Share Incentive Plan.

If you are just beginning to think about introducing a share plan for some or all of your employees you may want to know more about how an employee share scheme could benefit your company.  On our Resources pages you will find Guides, FAQs and other information.
