Amid the “Great Resignation,” subsequent “Great Rehiring,” and an evolving employment landscape, public and private companies can be hyper-focused on finding ways to attract and retain talent. Equity compensation may remain a powerful tool for these businesses; but, is it enough to accommodate the needs of the modern worker?

That is what we set out to explore in The State of Equity Plan Management 2022 Report—a study focused on global public and private company equity plans, and the factors that drive them. Analyzing the survey responses of 400+ employees across various industries, the study identifies the strategies being deployed to help increase equity plan effectiveness.

3 key survey findings:

(1) Equity Remains an Important Recruitment and Retention Tool

(2) But Equity Alone Isn’t Enough to Reduce Workforce Attrition

(3) In Response, Companies are Reevaluating Traditional Equity Plan Design
