Democratizing employee ownership in
European companies
Every
large European company has 4 Top Executives on
average, each holding 6.475.000 € in his company
in 2009. Most large European companies have now
employee share plans. Most of them express the
idea that employee ownership should be increased
in order to align employees and shareholders'
interests. However, most companies began with
share plans for Top Executives. This is to be
compared with 9.3 million common employee owners,
each holding 10.000 € in 2009. Many discussions
occurred recently about Executives' remunerations.
