16.1 Understanding the Participation Decision

We all know the key to the success of an employee stock participation plan is high participation. And the key to getting high participation is understanding what drives the participation decision for your employees. Drawing upon new research conducted by Computershare in partnership with the University of Melbourne, this session will look at what the key factors are that affect an employee's decision to participate—from the time it takes for employees to make their participation decision to the correlation between tenure and participation. This research-based presentation sheds new light on the process by which employees make their participation decision, the reasons for not participating, and what you can do to drive better interest in your own plans. Join this exciting panel as they reveal what you can do to encourage greater participation in your plan(s)!
