I hope this is one of many stories that show the economy will begin to improve, especially in the manufacturing industry.

Inland Truck Parts Company is one of the leading providers of wholesale
truck equipment and parts. It has many branches in almost all states
that's why it can cover lots of customers for their truck parts needs.

"Skin in the game"...yes, that nails
it. A culture and compensation structure of "skin in the game"
is precisely what young workers want. When I look at my fellow
20-somethings in Manhattan and Silicon Valley, it's obvious that we are not
risk-averse and we are completely invested in our work and want to be more
closely connected to the results which we help drive.

Just look at those jumping ship from comfortable bulge bracket banks and
consulting firms -- they are going to start-ups because start-ups provide the
closest connection between an employee's individual impact and his compensation
and recognition. ESOPs seem to do the same thing -- give employees a sense of
ownership and recognize their dedication -- but in more of a structured and
traditional corporate environment.

I’m glad that I know this exists now. But, why didn't I learn about ESOPs in
college? Career Services departments at American universities could do their
students a favor by explaining ESOPs and providing a list of ESOP companies.

I just googled "list of ESOP companies." Not
surprised that Publix is an ESOP company -- I always wondered why Publix
employees were so cheery and invested in their work and customer service. I'm
sure the ESOP culture contributes to that. Kudos to Publix management.

If
there's one benefit to being a part of Generation X over that of our parents’
it's that we were never exposed to the same retirement expectations. While the
Baby Boomers have had to recalibrate their thinking, my generation has been
told from day one that we were going to have to take care of ourselves (and for
many, Boomer parents as well) in retirement.

To
some extent, the driving force between finding a secure career path (still
difficult) for my generation is that looming day in the future we are going to
have to inevitably leave the work force and, with fingers crossed, hope we have
amassed enough to last us through the end of our lives. This mentality, while perhaps more stress-inducing,
is at least well-informed; and through it, we’ve been able to avoid the jarring
retirement bait-and-switch the Boomers have had to live through.

Unfortunately,
those of us who make up the incoming and up-and-coming workforce are not well
versed in the existence of options like ESOPs let alone the specific benefits. Perhaps with more focus on educating this
Retirement-Is-Not-A-Given generation, the demand for employee-owned company
structures will increase.
