What is share-based compensation financial reporting and how does it impact company financial statements?
Drive employee performance with an ownership stake in your business
An Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) is the easiest and often the most cost-effective way for employees to purchase shares in your company. With an ESPP, employees buy shares through payroll deductions – either at a discount from the market rate or with a company match – allowing them to invest in the future success of the business. Setting vesting schedules for the matching contributions can help encourage employee retention.
Participants in ESPPs are often more engaged and loyal employees
Having a stake in company performance is a powerful motivator and can help reduce staff turnover

Engaged for success
High participation is the key to success for ESPPs. The keys to achieving high participation rates are effective plan communications and an intuitively easy way for employees to manage their investments.
Drive excitement and participation in your ESPP
It's important to ensure employees understand the benefits of your ESPP and know how your plan works. Our communications experts will deliver a campaign that resonates with your employees and sets up your plan for success.
The intuitive platform for ESPPs
Enable your participants to manage their ESPP with the EquatePlus platform and EquateMobile app. Ensure they never miss plan events with the task manager, on-screen messaging, and push notification alerts.
An offer for all employees
An ESPP is a benefit that can be made available to all employees in most countries. Offering an ESPP can make your company more attractive to top recruits, to help you deliver on your people priorities. The regular payroll deductions from participants also provides a steady cash flow to the company.
