WELCOME
Is Employee Ownership right for your company?
We're here to help!
The Pittsburgh Citywide Task Force and the Pennsylvania Center for Employee Ownership have a single focus – helping businesses to understand employee ownership, and the benefits to all involved. Employee ownership is good for communities. Employees at employee-owned companies are 4 times less likely to be laid off and have retirement accounts that are 2.5 times greater than at comparable companies.
Converting to employee ownership requires some help. Some of the things you may need include:
Legal
Assistance
(Filing, paperwork, etc)
(Can we do this? What do we need?)
Financial Advice
(Are there grants or loans available to offset costs? How does a seller get paid?)
Funding
Education
(What skills need to be developed/added)?
Consulting/ Conversion
(How does all of this work?)
The Pittsburgh Task Force on Employee Ownership is grateful for the support of The City of Pittsburgh and The Heinz Endowments, who make it possible to bring positive change to the lives of working people in the Allegheny region.
