What is an ESOP?

ESOP is a special retirement program that allows employees to own stock in the company. When you join EOHI, you automatically begin investing in your future (without having to purchase shares). We are a high growth company committed to training our employee owners to develop their skills and advance in their careers.

- Studies also show that retirement account balances for ESOP companies are 2.5 times higher.

- ESOP companies grow 2.5 times faster than those companies without employee ownership.

- Research shows employee owned companies are superior in performance, employee benefits and employee morale because everyone is working towards a common goal.
