Your people are your most significant ongoing investment so it's important that you keep your talent onboard.
Over 16,000 UK companies have an employee share scheme in place. Employee share schemes are a structure in which employees are granted or can purchase company shares, or share options, potentially making them partial owners of the company. These shares can be awarded along with tiered incentives, or provided through a variety of other arrangements.
Why should you go down employee ownership route?
- Powerful and essential tool to retain your key employees and top talent
- Well-designed and implemented employee share schemes incentivise key staff members
- If selling your business, an employee share scheme aligns key employees and boosts value.
- Share ownership boosts employees' productivity and loyalty

Which share scheme is right for me?
At Oldfield, we have developed unique approaches to designing and implementing employee share schemes. This varies from company to company and can depend on different factors, for example, do you want to give employees shares immediately, or would you like them to purchase shares in the future? Do you want employees to hit certain performance milestones first?
Our tax consultants can go through the different schemes with you and work together on deciding which one is the most suitable for you.
The value of an effective share scheme:
Tax benefits | Increased leadership and ownership | Better culture with an increased morale | Faster growth and more innovation | Higher productivity from employees | Increased business value | Less owner dependance
