About the Academy

The EO Academy is a practical resource built for real businesses making the shift to employee ownership. It covers what EO means, how it works in day-to-day business life, and what it takes to get it right. It’s designed for owners planning a transition, advisers supporting clients, and employees stepping into new responsibilities — bringing the bigger picture and practical steps together.

The EO Effect

“It’s fantastic to see employment ownership and participation in the ESOP increase as we continue to grow and evolve the business. As we work through opportunities and challenges, we see our team work together with a ‘best for business’ approach, and strong commitment to delivering for our clients and achieving our business goals. I am so very pleased to see our employees have the opportunity to share in our success, through the ESOP.”

Barbara Crossley - Managing Director, Umwelt

“We are believers that to align your company vision requires people to connect and identify with it. Ownership is one of the best ways to 'walk the talk' and an effective ESOP is the best way of achieving the goal. Make it visible and accessible and it will help inspire future leaders in more ways than you know. ”

Glenn Calder - CEO, Viridian Financial Group

“It’s just created a really good vibe in the office and it’s so positive. People who are able to be part of our ESOP are suddenly thinking about themselves very differently. They’re talking about passive incomes, something they’ve never thought of before in the sense that I can own something, I can actually own where I work.”

“The PPT is such a valuable way to release equity within the business at the same time complimenting any larger transactions that occurs within the business.”
