PIVOTING TO ENHANCE OUR ESOP
Get the Facts About Finances If you have spent any time in the business world over the last few years, you have probably used and abused the word pivot a time or two. The COVID-19 pandemic, semiconductor shortages, blocked shipping canals, and other external influences have “allowed” us the opportunity to break our normal routines and workflows and examine what we were doing and why we are doing it. Your ESOP committee has been no exception, with the recent market shift allowing us the capacity to examine how the committee has functioned in years past and challenging our goals moving forward. When I joined this committee in the fall of 2022, I did what any newly committed EO champion would do — I fired up that search bar of the interwebs, ready to download every amazing factoid that WinCo, Bi- Mart, and Recology have put out throughout the years …
When the Franklin EO committee met last November, this frustration was shared amongst us all, and a pivot became obvious. There is a serious need and opportunity to focus more of our energy on creating better resources and empowering our front-line managers to champion employee-
ownership and have the tools to explain why stock in our company is worth protecting and fighting for. Stay tuned as we initiate frequent and relevant information for your huddles, and know that your GMs and front-line supervisors have our full attention this year. Additionally, we recognize that understanding the financial goals of your company begins with a healthy understanding of your own personal finances. The EO Committee and Franklin Building Supply have proudly extended our contract with Janice Purdy Pierce, our favorite financial literacy coach! Ask your managers about getting plugged into this incredible resource.
I found nothing …
The truth is that employee ownership is still pretty rare, and aside from stories about millionaire cashiers from the 2000s, good, digestible information really doesn’t exist. ESOP stock isn’t like McDonald’s stock. What does it mean to get vested? Can I cash this out or transfer it if I leave the company? Can our stock split? Who knows?
