Employee Share Incentives - Common Issues for Private Companies

Introduction

It is a generally held belief that employee participation in share plans is positive for all involved.

But what if things do not go quite to plan?

This new virtual classroom seminar will examine some of the common pitfalls and issues facing the designers and implementer of employee share plans.

It focuses on private companies and is aimed at any professional adviser who acts for clients considering implementing share plans, who already have share plans and who have an acquisition strategy that may involve companies with share plans.

This session will also be of interest to company secretaries, benefits managers, and in-house personnel responsible for the implementation or day to day running and management of share plans.

For public companies, please see Employee Share Incentives - Common Pitfalls for Listed Companies.
