ifs ProShare recently held an event to “Celebrate Excellence” in the world of Employee Share Ownership and Financial Education in the Workplace.
The event, hosted by law from Linklaters, involved presentations from Qinetiq, Hammerson, Sainsbury, HSBC Capita Group, Enterprise Inns and Easyjet, all of whom won ifs ProShare Awards in the fiercely competitive annual Employee Share Ownership awards late last year.
Over 100 delegates from various UK companies attended the event, keen to listen to new ideas and get detailed information on best practice in ESO and Workplace Financial Education. The event also provided some useful pointers to companies considering entering the 2007 ifs ProShare awards.
Fiona Downes, Head of Employee Share Ownership at ifs ProShare, said:
“We were very pleased that all winners of ifs ProShare awards in 2006 took the time and trouble to come to today’s event to present their winning entries in detail. This has provided an incredibly useful insight and encouragement to other companies.
It’s impossible to sum up in a few short sentences just what makes some employee share plans and workplace financial education programmes even more successful than others but the active involvement and support of directors and senior management coupled with a clear and effective communication/consultation strategy, stand out as two big drivers of success.”
