How to reward your team this Christmas 

57% of UK companies cite budget as a challenge for traditional festivities. 

With tighter budgets and more remote workforces, most businesses are looking for alternative ways to reward employees in the festive season. Consider gifting your team something truly valuable — a stake in your company with an Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) scheme. An EMI scheme offers a powerful way to reward, retain, and motivate your employees for the long term.

In this webinar, I’ll show you how to set up an EMI scheme, explain the tax benefits, and explore why this could be the best gift your employees receive this year.

What I’ll cover

  • Why EMI options make a great gift for the holidays. 
  • The legal and tax implications for the business and your employees.
  • How to set up an EMI scheme (step-by-step).
  • What to do if someone leaves.

Ideal for

Perfect for business owners, founders, and HR leaders who are considering ways to reward their employees during the festive season. Whether you're new to share schemes or looking to optimise your existing scheme, this webinar is for you.

The platform itself allows you to manage all aspects of share and option management concisely in one place. The automations and integrations save you time. But while the platform is great, it is the team that makes Vestd stand out. From pre-sales to onboarding and the ever-helpful support team - not only do they support on the platform but provide excellent knowledge in this area.

Why share equity with your team?

Ramp up overall business growth

Sharing equity creates a stronger team that works harder and is committed to the business.

Increase business productivity

Employees with equity work harder, because their growth is tied to the growth of the company.

Motivate your team to perform

Conditional equity agreements get the best out of your team and helps you hit your growth targets.

Improve employee engagement

The more all employees feel included in the success of the business, the more they’re motivated to contribute.

Retain and incentivise your best talent

Share schemes are proven to increase employee retention. Keep hold of your top talent using equity.

Offset high market salary with equity

It's a costly and lengthy process to hire for high-in-demand roles. Sharing equity gives them a reason to stay.
