Generating $20 billion for workers by 2030.
Ownership Works is well on the way to achieving our 2030 goal of generating $20 billion in wealth for workers outside of the C-suite and creating hundreds of thousands of new employee-owners.
To meet this target, we are fueling a movement and providing hands-on guidance to help businesses implement broad-based employee ownership programs that provide every employee with the opportunity to become an owner who shares in the value they help create.
Since our founding, we've made significant progress.

It includes only a subset of the companies with shared ownership programs, as O.W. is still collecting projected wealth data from all our partners. Given the variability in equity value and workforce headcounts over time, projected average wealth per employee should not be inferred.
- This figure reflects wealth realized by workers outside the C-suite through liquidity events (exits, dividends, and interim payments).
