October is #EmployeeOwnership month! As a woman- and employee-owned small business, we celebrate the benefits of employee ownership. Did you know that The ESOP Association research shows that employee owners between 60 and 64 have, on average, 10 times the wealth of their peers? Panagora became employee owned in 2021, and since then, we’ve seen soaring levels of engagement, retention, and growth. Last week, Panagora led a panel at the ESOP Association’s regional conference sharing insights and lessons learned from our experience integrating DEI into our employee ownership model, a recipe for long term success at every level. We believe that by empowering employees through an ownership model, increasing financial literacy and equity, and developing a culture of belonging and inclusion, we can be the change we want to see in the world. #EmployeeOwnership #WOSB #WomenOwned #DiversityInLeadership
