October is ESOP Month!
Posted by Admin
Every October, the John Henry Foster Company celebrates Employee Ownership Month. This is a terrific opportunity to celebrate and recognize employee ownership, and an invaluable opportunity to educate employee-owners, and the general public about the benefits of employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs).JHF's ESOP was established in 1985- one year after Bob and Kathy Gau purchased the company from John Henry, himself. The purpose of the ESOP was two-fold: as a reward and incentive program for employees to help grow the business and to ensure the future of the company as a family business with family principles, morals, and values.
To celebrate the month and our joint dedication to excellence, the employee-owners are invited to partake in daily activities and fun events such as chili cook-offs, massages, employee interviews and a variety of contests with prizes.
