According to the founder of Inpulse, the move to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) empowers employees, clients and the business long-term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matt Stephens, Founder and CEO of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thirteencreative.co.uk\/inpulse21\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inpulse<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, explained, \u201cLast year, after seeing how our employees dealt with all the changes brought about by the pandemic and how they rose to the challenge of helping clients through tough times made us consider ways of involving them more in the business. What better way to engage and reward our employees than offer them ownership of it at no cost to themselves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy conviction is to put the employee at the heart of the business and focus on clients\u2019 needs not shareholders\u2019. The EOT was a perfect move to ensure our team is fully invested in Inpulse\u2019s future. We couldn\u2019t and wouldn\u2019t have done this without full trust and belief in each one of our team and this will only reinforce everyone\u2019s collective desire to support our clients.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inpulse supports employee engagement by helping clients measure and understand their employees\u2019 emotions \u2013 perhaps about wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, culture or change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The announcement will have no material day to day impact on the company or Stephens\u2019 role as Founder\/CEO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He continued, \u201cIn effect, this is about making our business as successful as possible. We\u2019re providing the incentive for superlative performance, as well as supporting business mainstays of productivity and innovation. One of the biggest reasons we chose an EOT was because we are helping our team and because employee-owned companies tend to outperform others.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bertie Tonks, Chief People Officer at Collinson, added: \u201cThis is the sort of reason we love partnering with Inpulse. They don\u2019t just support engagement, they live it. Many companies choose venture capital or private equity funding, but Matt and the team live by their values. It\u2019s personal to each of them and is growing organically. I love it.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Employee Ownership Association, sales in employee-owned companies increased by 4.3% and operating profits increased by 5% in 2019. On top of this, the top 50 employee-owned companies realised 6.9% productivity growth.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Employee Ownership Trust transfers control of a business to employees, while having tax incentives for the shareholders. An EOT must pass control of at least 51% of a business to employees; after independent valuations, Inpulse\u2019s founders has passed 75% of the shares, via a Trust, to employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stephens summarised: \u201cWe have complete independence to plan what\u2019s best for clients, plus this move helps us attract and retain our staff. I keep a shareholding, so I\u2019m also fully invested, as well as able to look at new business opportunities.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ends For media enquiries contact: Kay Phelps, PRinHR, Email: kay.phelps@PRinHR.co.uk +44 (0) 7710 043244.
