Beyond Equity
Retaining employees with equity and vesting cash
Beyond Equity .
Equity is a powerful retention tool, however employees have varying financial goals. Give employees the flexibility to balance equity with vesting cash.
Retention Strategy
Understanding Your Employees’ Financial Goals
Stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) have long been considered a way to make employees feel invested, appreciated and rewarded – and many employees have come to expect options or equity as part of their compensation package.
However, employees often have financial goals that equity may or may not serve.
Providing employees with vesting cash bonuses gives the employers the retention advantages while giving employees funds immediatly they may need to acheive their financial goals.
Consider offering your employees the option to choose a percenage of this benefit as vesting cash instead of stock options or RSUs.
The Challenge
Equity Limitations
Over the past few years, options have become increasingly ineffective due to a lack of:
Transparency
Stock options and RSUs have a lot of fine print and moving pieces. It can be very confusing to employees.
Consistency
Not all options are created equal, among employees and companies. Market fluctuations creates inconsistent income.
Certainty
An option could become meaningless if the company does not experience the success they planned for.
Applicability
Financial goals vary by employee. Often equity won’t motivate as effectivly as immediate cash with a vesting schedule.
How can we use
Keep when it comes to equity?
Cash Alternative
You can deliver vesting cash to employees in lieu of stock options or restricted stock units (RSUs). In doing so, employees receive cash today with the agreement to stay for a specific period of time.
Cash to Purchase Equity
You can give employees a vesting cash bonus with the sole purpose of exercising stock options and attaining what would have been unattainable equity in the company – tied to a retention period.
