Employee Stock Compensation Plans Need to Be Designed to Increase Employee Engagement

By Aki Matsumoto

  • Employee motivation is reflected in the fact that employee salaries have barely increased in 10 years (employee engagement in Japan has been 5% for four consecutive years).
  • First, employee salaries must be increased. Even during deflation, the consumption tax has been raised twice in the past decade, and the national burden rate has also increased.
  • When introducing employee stock compensation plan, it will be necessary to make sure that the plan is not only designed to supplement employee pay, but also to increase employee engagement.
