What is an ESOP?

McCownGordon is proud to be 100% employee-owned.

An ESOP is an employee ownership structure that works similarly to a 401k, meaning it is a qualified retirement plan. Employees receive stock ownership, with additional shares distributed over time. Each has a personal account holding company shares. This structure attracts talent, boosts productivity and fosters long-term commitment. When an associate becomes fully vested, their name gets proudly added to a custom handcrafted ESOP wall.

What does it mean for clients?

Employee ownership in Kansas is mutually beneficial for associates and clients, fostering continuous evolution and innovation. Embracing change is essential in a dynamic environment; failure to adapt poses risks. In a 100% employee-owned culture, every associate is empowered to contribute new ideas and challenge norms. Studies indicate that staff engagement significantly increases when they have a stake in the company’s success. The Gallup survey underscores this, with over 98% of associates engaged, understanding expectations, valuing their work, receiving regular recognition and having growth opportunities.
