Equity compensation should be available to all employees, don’t you think? After all, companies that give their employees a slice of the equity pie perform better.

Nowadays, even though employee stock plans like ESPPs are the norm, only an average of 3 out of every 10 employees actually participate in these plans. Sounds like a lot of missed opportunity for employees and employers alike.

But why is this? Unfortunately, ESPP participation rates are highly correlated to income, with lower earning employees struggling to get involved.

That’s where Carver Edison’s Cashless Participation comes in. We are excited to announce that inclusive employee ownership is finally here, and we are delighted to partner with Carver Edison to bring it to you.

Cashless Participation is an enhancement to stock plans that companies can use to help employees address wealth inequality challenges within the workplace.
