Hey Wait, Wasn't I Supposed to be Rich by Now?: Communicating Value to Private Company Stock Plan Participants
July 21, 2010 11am PDT
Click here to register.
Description:
Private companies face significant challenges in communicating the value of their equity compensation programs to their participants. In this webcast, we'll look at the obstacles private issuers face in creating a true sense of worth and ownership, and present a pragmatic framework to assist you with:
- Communicating the goals of your equity comp programs
- Identifying and presenting non-IPO value scenarios
- Building value through transparency (Business, Stock Price, Financial Health)
- Setting Mutual Expectations with your participants
- Why the "nuts and bolts"--including clear, effective communication of the terms, conditions, provisions, and participant holdings-can be the difference between a good investment and money down the drain
- How to communicate, answering the critical questions: Who? When? How Often? And with what?
- Finally, we'll discuss how to do it all with limited resources and budget!

July 22, 2010 11am PDT

Description:
An effective employee education strategy is an essential element in meeting the goals of any successful equity compensation program. Yet, there never seems to be the budget, time, or resources to craft and carry out these strategies. On July 22, please join us for our webcast
Stand we'll show you that, where there is a will, there's a way.
This presentation will provide bite-sized employee education efforts that can be put to use immediately, or spaced out over time to create a well-rounded and thorough employee education standard. We will detail a number of mini-campaigns for stock plan managers to initiate as a part of their total education package as well as the advantage of providing information in smaller pieces.
Topics Include:
- General tips on successful employee education
- Leveraging your Intranet
- Taking advantage of new hire orientation
- Communicating on tax issues
- Internal partnerships
- ESPP enrollment
