Description

Tens of millions of employee-owners go to work every day in the US. What they experience is often different from the rest of the workforce in terms of the financial rewards they receive, the culture they operate within, and the roles and responsibilities they assume. These experiences offer a different vision for our economy and our approach to work in the US. Hear from employee-owners about their experiences with ownership and the effects it has had on their lives and communities. Panelists will discuss how ownership affects their job quality, their performance, their relationship with their company, and their perspectives on other outcomes from employee ownership.
