Ohio Employee Ownership Center Annual Conference

August 20, 2020

Matt Hancock and Jon Sweigart will present Can ESOPs Cure What Ails us at Work? (1:15 – 2:15 pm EDT) at the 34th Annual Ohio Employee Ownership Conference Employee Ownership: Building Community, Building the Future.

Many Americans, perhaps the majority, work in unhealthy jobs that lead to burnout, poor health outcomes and lost productivity. Research shows that when demanding jobs are redesigned so that employees have more autonomy and more support, those unhealthy jobs become opportunities for growth, learning and satisfaction and lead to greater productivity.

This workshop will explore how ESOP-owned companies that develop strong ownership cultures can help make work more healthy and high performing. We’ll explore concrete strategies for engaging employee-owners in redesigning their work to improve the employee experience and enhance company performance.
