Launched in 2022, Ownership Works (O.W.) is a fast-growing nonprofit organization with a mission to foster economic wellbeing for workers and create thriving workplaces through the power of shared ownership. O.W. helps companies and investors implement shared ownership programs that make every employee an owner and honor the collective effort behind a company’s success. At scale, employee ownership can help millions of workers build savings and wealth, often for the first time, at businesses that are more dynamic, resilient, and successful.

O.W. has set an ambitious goal of creating at least $20 billion of wealth for workers by 2030 and, over the long term, making broad-based employee ownership the new norm at work. To achieve these goals, O.W. has two areas of focus: 

Movement Building. Through partnerships, network-building, education, data, and storytelling, O.W. is building a movement to increase the adoption of shared ownership by private and public companies. Over 100 private equity firms, financial institutions, foundations, labor advocates, and pension funds have joined the O.W. consortium as partners and made unprecedented commitments to advance the shared ownership movement.

Client Advisory Services. In collaboration with its Founding Partners, O.W. helps public and private companies implement broad-based employee ownership programs that improve corporate cultures, increase employee engagement and satisfaction, and create an alignment of interests between employees and employers, all of which can support better outcomes for companies and workers. Since O.W.’s founding, 180 companies have implemented shared ownership programs, reaching over 250,000 workers.

Ownership Works is certified as a Great Place to Work.
