Transforming Workplaces Through Employee Ownership

Employee ownership serves as the foundation of businesses throughout the world, in almost every industry. Today, more than 18 million workers in the United States have some ownership stake in the place they work. A democratic workplace is more than just a way to make jobs better, it’s a way to make companies better.

Whether you’re interested in converting your business to a worker-owned cooperative, establishing an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), or implementing a hybrid model of employee ownership, the ICA Group can help.
