Model Plans
Employee share ownership, what is it? A small number of model employee share ownership plans exist around the world (but with many variations depending on the specific legislation of each country). These plans are more or less adapted to startups (or micro-enterprises) or to SMEs or large companies.

Employee share ownership in SMEs - Great Britain's success
With the Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), Great Britain is the only European country so far to have been able to set up an effective policy of employee share ownership in SMEs. A remarkable success! Yet it could be even better. Today, there is a worldwide debate on the respective advantages of the EOT compared to the ESOP plan.

A Generic ESOP Employee Share Plan for Europe
Employee share ownership in SMEs is microscopic in Europe while it is widespread in the USA. This difference is due to the implementation of a particular employee share plan in 1974 in the USA, the ESOP. The purpose of this paper is to conceptualize a generic version of the ESOP model that, with some variations, could be implementable in all European countries.

Shareholders and employee shareholders in European SMEs
The number of shareholders in SMEs is very small in Europe. However, employee shareholders are the most numerous of them. The workers cooperative scheme is declining in Europe, while new employee share ownership schemes are expanding. The UK provides high quality information about these facts, while reliable information are almost non-existent in other European countries.

Employee Share Ownership - The European Policy - October 2018
Report for the European Commission DG Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union
The major goal of the European Union's policy in this area was for nearly thirty years defined as "employee share ownership for all". Indeed solid evidence shows that the benefits of such a policy are great not only for employees and for businesses, but for society in general. Despite significant progress in Europe, the goal is still far from being achieved, especially in SMEs. The "missing link" is a European Action Plan. It was requested by the European Council in 2000, announced by the Commission in 2002, prepared by a Pilot Project in 2014, yet it has still to be put in place.
