There are plenty of job opportunities in Northeast Wisconsin. Yet, finding a company that aligns with your personal values and offers genuine financial growth can be rare.
At Robinson, we take pride in being a 100% employee-owned company, through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This innovative program empowers our employees and strengthens the company’s foundation for long-term success. Let’s talk about how the Robinson ESOP benefits our employees and why prospective job applicants should be excited about this opportunity!
What is an ESOP?
An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a long-term, wealth-building benefit plan where employees hold company stock. Through this structure, employees earn shares annually within a retirement savings trust.
It’s important to know that our employees do not pay for their shares. Instead, their shares are earned over time, and employees receive payouts when they leave or retire (depending on the vesting schedule.)
As a Robinson employee, this unique model allows you to share in the benefits that your hard work generates. In other words, company performance is directly tied to your personal financial growth!
The Tangible Benefits of Employee Ownership
Studies show that ESOP companies often outperform traditionally structured businesses and face fewer layoffs during economic downturns. As a Robinson employee, that means you will be joining a stable, resilient workforce, with a working culture that is focused on collective success.
Our employees are encouraged to think long-term, making decisions that will benefit the company as a whole. They are motivated to produce high-quality work that contributes to the company’s lasting success, since this is tied to their own financial future. This ethos of ownership inspires each team member to enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and improve our bottom line.
Retirement Benefits of an ESOP
One of the significant advantages of working at a company with an ESOP is the ability to enhance your retirement savings. ESOP employees who also contribute to a 401(k) plan can save approximately 2.5 times more for retirement than those who rely solely on a standard retirement plan.
Our Culture of Ownership and Success
Our culture of employee ownership is the driving force behind Robinson’s success. Every team member is personally vested in every project’s outcome. This leads to a commitment to fostering strong, lasting relationships with our clients and vendors, too.
Being part of an ESOP means you’re much more than an employee. You are an employee-owner and an integral shareholder vested in the future of Robinson.
