Impact and Change Through Employee Ownership
Transforming Capitalism: Keynote address by Kerry Siggins
Overview
Income inequality and the shrinking middle class shouldn’t be ignored. While this far-reaching societal issue is complex and can’t be solved overnight, leaders can make a real difference in their employees’ lives through more equitable compensation and benefits.
While generous compensation can make a significant difference in the day-to-day lives of our teams, salaries alone aren’t enough to build real savings and wealth. In our economy, the costs of living are very high relative to the average person’s pay, especially during economic inflation.
Many people are living paycheck to paycheck, a risky and fragile situation. We used to think that going to college was the best path to a better, more wealthy life, but skyrocketing tuition and crushing debt make it inaccessible for many. Now, even higher degrees do not guarantee a higher salary.
In this engaging and pragmatic keynote, Kerry shares StoneAge’s journey to becoming 100% employee-owned, creating a world-class organization that is changing the narrative on wealth creation in a capitalist society.
Your audience will walk away with a greater understanding of how employee ownership works, why it’s a powerful succession model to consider, why business leaders should care about where wealth creation happens, and how ownership opportunities can create a culture of responsibility and accountability, increase engagement and purpose, and lead to faster growing bottom lines.
