Purpose of Employee Share Schemes
An employee share scheme is a mechanism provided by a company that enables its
employees to share in the success of the organisation.
Companies establish employee share schemes for the following main reasons:
-
As an incentive to employees to promote productivity;
-
As a means of recruiting and retaining key personnel;
-
To align the interest of employees with that of shareholders to enhance the
growth of the company; and
-
To take advantage of any available tax relief and exemptions.
