"Together, we can continue to make employee ownership a transformative force in the U.S. Economy."
Read how we will continue to EXPAND EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP to bring economic vitality to more communities across America.
To expand EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP,
more business communities must know that employee ownership can transform businesses and future-proof legacies.
Through 2028, the EOX Network will prioritize three Ownership Accelerators - key strategic goals for EOX - that will enhance the Network's capability to drive EO awareness, ultimately resulting in more businesses adopting employee ownership models.
OWNERSHIP ACCELERATORS
1
Strengthen Our State Center Network
EOX significantly expands employee ownership across the United States by convening, uniting, and supporting a network of State Centers. Our goal is to stabilize and strengthen the existing network to ensure State Center sustainability, success, and credibility in their States. By leveraging collective strength through capacity-building, funding, best practices, and meaningful collaborations, we will achieve more for employee ownership together.
2
Elevate Our National Voice
EOX envisions an America where employee ownership transforms the economy and strengthens communities to create greater wealth equality. We ensure this by being at the forefront of EO discussions, by providing education and resources at the local level, maintaining a national voice, and partnering with organizations to spread employee ownership across the United States.
3
Source Sustainable Funding
In order to promote employee ownership as a strategy to increase community wealth and create a more vibrant, participatory economy, EOX must have the funding to support itself and the State Centers. Internal capacity and special projects dedicated to our vision and mission require a sustainable funding strategy where we are not overly dependent on one funding source to ensure the work continues.
OUR VISION
The Employee Ownership Expansion Network (EOX) envisions an America where employee ownership transforms the economy, strengthens communities, creates greater wealth equality, and enables business owners and employees to be co-creators of their economic future.
OUR MISSION
EOX expands employee ownership across the United States via a network of State Centers for employee ownership and national partnerships to increase community wealth, strengthen businesses and create a more vibrant, participatory economy.
We achieve our mission by:
- developing, convening, uniting, and supporting a network of State Centers
- engaging and collaborating with national entities and business owners to champion employee ownership
- amplifying the work of the State Center Network to increase education, awareness, and consideration of all forms of employee ownership
OUR VALUES
Lead With Integrity
We act with integrity and steward resources according to these values and principles. We build trust by being honest, reliable, and following through on our commitments.
Foster Collaboration
We believe that the sum is greater than the individual parts and no one organization can carry the load alone. We lead from a place of kindness, respect and mutual benefit towards the collective goal of expanding employee ownership.
Focus On Equity and Voice
We recognize that we do not all start from the same place and acknowledge and make adjustments for imbalances to empower people and organizations. Our work in expanding broad-based employee ownership provides opportunities and equity for ALL employees in a company, not just a select few. We maintain these values through all our priorities, policies, and partnerships. We want all of our team members to feel like they have a seat and voice at the table.
Inspire Curiosity and Growth
We embrace continuous learning, curiosity and growth to inspire change and success. We value diverse perspectives, are open to learning from others and encourage transparent communication. We strive for everyone on our team to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
Make a Difference
We see employee ownership as a critical tool to help reduce income and wealth disparity, which increases community wealth and creates a more vibrant, participatory economy. We aspire to make a positive impact on the lives of our employees, our partners and our communities. This is our north star.
