Almost five million UK employees currently participate in a share (and/or share option) plan at their place of work. Planning, introducing and managing employee share ownership schemes demands a high degree of professionalism by both front office and back office staff.
Employee share scheme professionals need to understand not only employer motivation, but also that of the employee. The practical issues involved in working in the share scheme industry require a good understanding of the legal and regulatory aspects of schemes, trusteeship, financial implications of share ownership, the impact of the tax regime and above all, scheme administration and member communication. This is a growing business.
Leading firms in the industry have recognised the need for specific training for practitioners new to the field, whether working in the company, perhaps in payroll or HR, or in a specialist firm providing a wide range of scheme support services. They have therefore created four e-based distance-learning modules, which can be taken singly or as a group, to gain a diploma in employee share ownership studies.
