Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPP)

Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPP) Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPP) are a beneficial method for employees to invest in a company by purchasing company stock through payroll deductions.

ESPP?s allow employees to have a personal stake in the future of their company, which often helps them to feel valued, incentivized, and can lead to better job performance. ESPP?s that offer discounted stock prices or matching contributions from the employer often are also an important incentive in recruiting and retaining employees.
