Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPPs) can be a valuable part of a company's total rewards offering, but understanding how they work and communicating their value to employees isn't always straightforward.

Designed for professionals who are new to ESPPs, this session introduces why public companies offer these programs and the key decisions that shape their design. You'll learn how features such as purchase discounts, lookback provisions and offering periods work, and how they influence the potential value employees receive.

The session will also explore how to explain ESPPs in ways employees can understand, including considerations for communicating with a global workforce. You'll leave with a foundation for evaluating plan features, answering common employee questions and supporting participation in an employee ownership program.
