- HR executives say equity compensation is an essential benefit
for employees to meet goals and deepen loyalty
- Nearly nine in 10 employees agree they would be more likely to
stay with their company if it emphasized equity compensation
Morgan Stanley at Work today released the latest findings from
its inaugural State of the Workplace Financial Benefits Study
focused on the financial benefits, perceptions and role of equity
compensation among employers and employees in the workplace.
The study found the pandemic has changed the way employees and
employers alike view their workplace financial benefits, with an
increased focus on offerings like equity compensation. The rising
importance of equity compensation in the workplace serves as an
essential benefit to not only help employees meet their long-term
financial goals, but also to increase employee motivation and
loyalty. This provides companies with a unique opportunity to
attract and retain talent in a highly competitive labor market.
Among the notable findings from the study include:
- Employers and employees agree that equity compensation is a
powerful motivator. 93% of HR executives and 75% of employees
agree that equity compensation and stock ownership is the most
effective way to motivate employees.
- Equity compensation correlates with the perception of
best-in-class benefits. Employers believe that equity compensation
is a driving factor for “best in class” benefits. Nearly nine
in 10 (89%) HR executives at companies that offer equity
compensation strongly or completely agree their company provides
“best in class” benefits, vs. only 56% at companies that do not
offer equity.
- Employees are divided on the exact role equity compensation
plays for employees. Employees diverge over what makes equity
compensation a strong motivator, with the top three choices being
“gives me a stake in the success of the company” at 27%, “helps
meet long term goals” at 26%, and “provides an additional source of
income” in third with 23%.
“From the conversations we are having with our clients it
appears that equity compensation will only continue to grow as a
significant workplace benefit,” said Scott Whatley, Managing
Director & Global Head of Equity Solutions, Morgan Stanley at
Work. “Our study shows equity compensation is a powerful motivator
that can help employees meet their financial goals, while helping
employers attract and retain talent. As this benefit continues to
be sought after by employees at all levels, the need to effectively
scale it becomes critical. Further, for companies to optimize this
offering, they must be mindful of awareness and comprehension gaps
among employees, and provide them with meaningful communication and
educational tools so they can maximize the advantages of their
equity.”
