The EO Index: Leveraging Market Forces

The Employee Ownership (EO) Index is being developed as a strategic measurement tool to equip American companies to take the lead in shaping a market-driven standard for broad-based ownership of equity by their employees.

The Index is designed to empower company managers with data-driven insights to determine the optimal balance of employee-owned equity across the pay scale.

Initial Focus on Public Companies

With an initial focus on publicly traded companies, Work to Own is collaborating with the market to incrementally shape core components of the EO Index.

We recognize the dynamic nature of balancing competing business variables, including sector-specific considerations, to maximize shareholder value.

Within this context, the EO Index will equip managers with the insight to achieve an optimal alignment of economic interests among company managers, employees and non-employee shareholders. 

Leveraging Market Forces to Shape a Win-Win

The EO Index is focused on providing a market-driven solution where government policy has failed, enabling managers to create shareholder value while positioning their companies as change agents in the creation of generational wealth for their employees.

Currently, there is no financial market standard to benchmark broad-based employee ownership at the company level.
