Employee Ownership Canada: Where Success is OWNED!

Association members share the common goal of promoting broad-based employee ownership in Canadian companies. When employees have “skin-in-the-game” and apply “ownership thinking”, the proven results are higher profitability and workplace satisfaction. The association provides expertise that advocates and educates on behalf of its members and stakeholders.

Exciting News: Merger of Canadian Employee Ownership Coalition and Employee Ownership Canada


Employee Ownership Canada is thrilled to announce a significant development in our ongoing efforts to promote employee ownership across Canada. The Canadian Employee Ownership Coalition (CEOC) and Employee Ownership Canada (EOC) are merging to form a unified organization under the banner of Employee Ownership Canada.

 

This merger combines the strengths, resources, and expertise of both organizations to better serve our members and advance our shared mission. Our consolidated efforts will enhance our ability to support employee-owned businesses, advocate for supportive policies, and educate the public about the benefits of employee ownership.

 

What This Means for Our Members:

  1. Expanded Resources and Support: Access to a broader range of tools, resources, and support services to help you navigate the journey of employee ownership.
  2. Unified Advocacy: A stronger, unified voice in advocating for policies and legislation that promote and support employee ownership and EOTs in Canada.
  3. Enhanced Networking Opportunities: More opportunities to connect, learn, and collaborate with other employee-owned businesses and supporters through expanded events and programs.
  4. Improved Educational Programs: Enhanced educational initiatives to spread awareness and understanding of employee ownership and Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs).
  5. You can view more information here.

You will be able to find an increasing amount of information on EOTs as the activities progress. The EOC will continue to offer content to members in our EO Academy Hub.
For additional EOT resources and information, visit Employee-Ownership.ca.

The ESOP Association of Canada has changed its name to

EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP CanadA.

The name has been changed to be more inclusive and align more clearly with our mission:

We support and advocate for all forms of Employee Ownership.

This is particularly important as we welcome a new form of Employee Ownership to Canada in 2024:

EOTs, or Employee Ownership Trusts.
