Equity Enhancement

Go Beyond Equity

Equity is a powerful retention tool, however, employees have varying financial goals. Give employees the flexibility to balance equity with upfront cash and tie it to a retention period that benefits your company.

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.
