There’s little doubt that employee motivation and loyalty is a major driver for business success. That’s why an employee share or option plan is a rewarding way for employees to actively participate in the success of the company they work for, and a positive way for companies to remunerate or incentivise their staff. However, it’s no secret that the challenges associated with employee plans can be significant - especially for organisations with staff in geographically dispersed locations. But getting the basics right is essential -- and plan design, plan administration and employee communications are all vital elements that contribute to the ultimate success of any plan.

For organisations to get the most out of a plan it’s essential that employees clearly understand the benefits of the plan, since participation rates can vary greatly from company to company. Key factors that influence a positive perception of the plan and superior uptake include considered design, ease of enrolment, fair tax considerations and clear communication of all plan details.
