Euronext Amsterdam-listed consultancy company Novisource is pleased to announce the introduction of a stock ownership plan for its employees. CEO Willem van der Vorm celebrates the plan’s introduction and Novisource’s first year on Euronext Amsterdam by sounding the gong. It is Novisource’s (ticker symbol: NOVI) ambition to be an attractive employer, both now and in the future. It seeks to invest in its employees and stimulate entrepreneurship. By offering its employees a tempting way to acquire company stock, the organisation believes it can further increase its draw as an employer and retain its employees for longer. Permanent employees are offered an interesting discount on acquiring Novisource stock and become eligible for an attractive premium after three years. The company’s decision to introduce an employee stock ownership plan, in partnership with Van Lanschot Bankiers, follows a survey among the workforce. “As a knowledge-based company, it is vital for us to recruit and retain individuals who possess specific expertise. As our professionals work primarily in the financial sector, they generally appreciate both the risks and the advantages that financial products present. The stock ownership plan is a perfect reflection of this understanding,” explains Van der Vorm.
