The war for talent is a pressing topic for many organizations, as they look to attract and retain the right talent to take their business forward. Increasing globalisation has widened the talent marketplace in recent years, and this together with the challenges of cost-of-living crisis, post-pandemic recovery and the ongoing conflict in the Ukraine, has created an environment where the workforce is re-evaluating priorities, and we see trends such as the widely reported ‘Great Resignation’ emerge.

In this session, we hear from two companies who have recently introduced new broad-based employee share plans, designed to reward employees for their input in driving growth, and incentivise all to play a part in increasing share value.

• Hear how plan structures can form a key part of the recruitment and retention employee value proposition
• Discover how share plans create a sense of corporate community for a global employee-base for which remote and hybrid working patterns are becoming the ‘norm’
• Consider the place of contributory share plans in the current economic climate, sharing views on how to balance short-term cashflow needs and longer-term financial wellbeing
