The Georgia Center for Employee Ownership (GACEO) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the economic lives of workers in the state of Georgia by educating business owners, their advisors, local government, and other community stakeholders about the social impact and business benefits of employee ownership. Employee ownership is many things. For selling owners, it is a powerful way to establish the legacy of their business and keep their workers employed in the community where the business is located. Multiple research studies have shown that most companies that become employee-owned see higher revenue and profits after the transition to employee ownership and certain tax advantages can allow a business owner to receive a competitive return on the sale of their business. For workers, employee ownership can help build wealth and retirement savings. It can also foster employee engagement and a spirit of shared stewardship in their company, especially when combined with participatory management systems and financial education. The main challenge with creating more employee owned companies is simple awareness. According to the Exit Planning Institute, only 30% of companies have a written succession plan, and only 6% consider employee ownership as part of that plan. We believe that entrepreneurs, workers, and communities across the state of Georgia will benefit from learning about employee ownership. To help with this education we will schedule free workshops with anyone who wants to learn more about the how and why of a transition to an employee owned business model. You can also contact us directly for a free consultation and assessment. We are a proud member of the Employee Ownership Expansion Network of State Centers: https://www.eoxnetwork.org/.

The Great Game of Business book is important to teaching how to be an owner in an employee-owned company or just great business sense! #ESOP #Employeeownership
For the latest episode of Stacking Knowledge, Marie B. Davis and I dug into Jack Stack's classic book "The Great Game of Business". Stack's approaching to creating a game at SRC was bold and innovative (and a little crazy), but the results have been nothing but astounding. If you've not read it before, it's fantastic book and an easy read. For a glimpse, check out my episode with Marie as we unpack some of our learnings from the book.

??Shout out to Texas Center for Employee Ownership (TXCEO) board member Mark Hand for his facilitation last week Harvard Business School Breakfast Forum 'Trends in Social Innovation: Employee Ownership" "In the next 10-15 years, according to one estimate HALF of American businesses will change hands. Who will own them? Competitors? Foreign investors? Or, as in the companies I now work with and write about, is there a path to a majority of them being owned by the employees who helped build them?" - Mark Hand #employeeownership #businessstrategy #businessesinnovation #esop #eot #workercooperative

I have been following the creation of the Canadian EOT for a few years after being introduced to Jon Shell. So great to see the first one having now been created. For the sake of #employeeownership everywhere (and pro EO tax policy) I hope there are hundreds more to come!
