1.1 Leveraging GEO's New Global Share Plans Ranking Survey for Growth and Equity Expansion

GEO's new Global Share Plans Ranking Project is the first of its kind. Designed to provide a snapshot in time, senior equity compensation industry issuers and service providers have provided rankings across a wide range of criteria for their country of expertise. The resulting report provides the bigger picture: a detailed country-level view of the appetite, support and provision of employee share ownership.

This session provides report highlights and key takeaways, as well as providing an understanding of how the report can be used for ideas on how to improve regional plans, assess the risk of expanding into new countries, or to start a conversation with regional stakeholders to increase access to share ownership around the globe.  

KEY LEARNINGS: 

  • Discover the countries leading the way, and those that have room to develop their employee equity offer
  • Explore key report findings, including trends and barriers to adopting share plans
  • Find out how you can use the report to decide which countries to extend plans into, or take learnings to improve the take-up of equity compensation in your region
