employee-owned
Workers own shares
Employee-owned describes a business where workers hold significant ownership stakes, typically through stock or shares.
This can range from partial ownership to complete worker control.
Employee-owned companies often use structures like ESOPs (employee stock ownership plans) or cooperatives: The employee-owned grocery chain shares profits among all staff.
The model is thought to increase worker investment in company success.
