A
new wave for employee ownership across Europe
A new wave boosting employee share ownership seems growing
from major European countries. Great Britain: Employment
Relations Minister Jo Swinson told that the British Government
will do all in its power’ to extend employee share ownership
substantially within the UK. "We have to eliminate
the barriers which inhibit the installation of employee
share schemes and employee ownership in UK businesses",
she said. "Over the years employee ownership and employee
share ownership have not been nearly as far up government
agendas as they should have been. For the workforce is our
human capital and must be encouraged accordingly",
said Ms Swinson. "Much more employee share ownership
was needed now in large and small companies alike, because
such schemes were an important factor in economic growth"
the minister told to the Employee Share Ownership Center
in London. France: President François Hollande announced
a new legislation for employee share ownership and participation.
Germany: As promised by Minister Philipp Rösler,
the German Ministry of Economics and Technology launched
a new Internet portal for employee ownership. Italy:
Waiting for a new law on participation and employee ownership.
The Parliament appointed the Government at the end of June,
but the white smoke is still awaited in Rome.
