I can see the bewilderment on some CEO's face as he hears the idea of sharing the wealth. Same bewilderment when he was a kid when told/asked to share his candy or toys.

@IMAXXHEW 13 дней назад

I work for a company that has ESOP. Along with many others (at my location) we've been there 20+ years because it is a great system. Many have retired as millionaires because of the stock they earned. I plan on retiring with the company and being happy. We are in the USA and started in Washington, Idaho, Nevada, California, and Oregon... since then we have opened several more locations in markets that demand our business. ESOP is a great business model where employees are happy, productive, and successful through retirement.

One of the main problems with inequality is reducing it without decreasing incentives to work. If you increase income tax for the rich, the incentive to become rich is less, so you become demotivated. Providing ownership to employees will redistribute the income and increase incentives to work with no trade offs. Could be pretty exiting stuff.

The focus on employee stock ownership is a powerful way to reshape workplace dynamics and tackle wealth inequality head-on. Creating an ownership culture not only fosters engagement but also strengthens the foundation of companies. Let's empower more workers to share in the success they help create! 🌟

The mystery of business achievement lies in a blend of components working as one to advance development and maintainability. It starts with a reasonable vision and mission upheld by essential preparation and execution. Versatility, development, and a client driven approach are fundamental components to stay with an in front of the curve.Solid drive, strong correspondence, and convinced bunches are central for developing a positive workplace culture and achieving progressive targets.Ceaseless learning, information driven navigation, and an emphasis on quality and consumer loyalty are key components that add to long haul achievement. Eventually, outcome in business is the aftereffect of a coordinated and far reaching way to deal with activities and system.

Wait… if all employees had stock, why would the payout depend on seniority and not on the number of shares they own? Also, most of the things you said you did, didn’t have to be tied to employee stock ownership. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="660">11:00</a> is right. Letting the employees involve in decision making is the main point here. The success didn’t come from giving them shares of the company. The management didn’t need to be forced by shareholders to give the employees more power. They can voluntarily let the employees in the decision-making process, and skip the stock part.

There is a book you can find online that explains this and more eloquently you can find online, its called: "towards a new socialism" by Paul Cockshott.

@logancooper6062 6 часов назад

Good point. Maybe the company allows employees to buy more stock with each additional year/month they work there? Mabye that’s why returns are higher for senior members, as they have more shares. Not sure but just a thought

@niccolom Час назад

@@logancooper6062 That’s fair enough. But again, companies don’t need to force themselves to listen to their employees because they double as stockholders. They can still let employees in on their decision-making processes without them being stockholders.

Nice video for my future career, In my opinion I agree with improve the incentive for worker. This opportunity could help them to enhance the potential abilities, also increase of the attention in company to work more fascinating. But, I wonder nowadays, huge company such as Samsung or Lg they have a beneficial incentive environment for their worker but some of the worker still try to abort of that what is the main problem in this situation?

As a former employee of an ESOP, I found that the management simply appreciated the tax breaks while retaining all control, all authority, and responsibility. The stocks were not shared fairly across the employees and no one was empowered to raise ideas to better the company, the products and services, nor the employees. When I left I was working to start a union to support the employees. Sad that such a powerful tool can be used. While it looks yummy on the outside, ESOPs are as big a joke as a traditionally owned pyramid business. The stocks only gain value when value is put into the business.

My man said "it might allow us to achieve an inclusive form of capitalism" after accidentally explaining socialism. I love it when liberals try to steal the ideas of us communists. We have been trying to do this for 150 years now, and people like our speaker here have opposed us for that entire period. The fact that liberals are now supporting our policy is telling of how fickle they really are.

@dallenpowell2745 9 дней назад

Right?! This is called Social Democracy and it's been a priority of Labor Parties for decades. This just looks like Capitalism is evolving to stay relevant without committing fully to the idea of democratized labor. Regardless it's a good start and if it opens some people to the ideas of socialism then I'm all for it whatever they decide to call it.

@tristondoyle9286 13 дней назад

Okay so question. I own a roofing company, I have to spend 10k a year on workers comp and general liability just to operate. I take home less than 50k a year. If we are sharing the wealth should the employees pay their part of workers comp&general liability if they are going to benefit? Yea I know it’s selfish but if I built this company from the ground up, paying more taxes, more liability on me and more stress. Why should someone else benefit for what I built?

Give all of your employees an equal share in the company via cooperative shared ownership, including distributing liability amongst them as shareholders, and then ask them to vote to decide who is the best representative to deal with administrative duties and how much that person should be compensated for their stress.

Interestingly, most employees want to share in the profits, but no one is willing to share the losses. If you want to share the profit, then you also need to pay in when losses are made.

@unholyrevenger72 13 дней назад

It is Syndicalism in that Money, government and Class still exist but most people adhere's to the "common ownership of the means of production". After Syndicalism comes Anarcho-Syndicalism which abolishes government. Then once you get rid of Money and class, you are left with Communism.

God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.
