ESOP Advisory
Esop Advisory
Employee Stock option Plan (ESOP) is a corporate strategy for retaining and motivating employees. Under which a company gives its employees the right to buy a certain number of shares at a fixed price (grant) for a certain period of time in years. An employee is required to complete the vesting period to exercise the option. New generation companies are using ESOPs to retain highly skilled employees. In an extremely competitive IT sector, the sense of ownership encourages employees to pursue a long-term career. It is a right, not an obligation for employees to buy shares at a predefined price.
To start with the mission is employee retention, but ESOPs also help in saving of cash compensation. By granting stock option to employees, a company can save funds to channelize the growth.
