Employee-owned means any arrangement where a company's employees own shares in the company or have the right to the value of shares in the company.
An employee-owned company does not have a majority shareholder in a single person, family, or third party. Alternatively, its company stock is spread out amongst the employees in their shares or stake percentages.
There are many forms of employee-owned companies, the most common form being the employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). This plan is a highly tax-advantaged one where employees own shares via a trust funded by the company in which they work for.
Here are some other forms of employee ownership:
Stock options
Stock grants
Synthetic equity (this grants the right to the value of the shares but not the shares themselves)
Worker cooperatives
Employee ownership trusts
