It’s official – we’re an employee-owned company! The team here at Zehnder is excited to announce that we have transitioned to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), putting the company shares (and its future) in the hands of our employees.

Here at Zehnder, our motto is do great work, make a difference, earn a fair profit and have fun. And with the transition to ESOP, we’re putting the fair in fair profit and giving back to our team. This shared ownership model is a top-tier retirement program and a community booster, but it’s not just about feathering the nest. Ultimately, it’s about giving our employees a real financial stake in the company and growing young workers into future leaders. 

But it doesn’t just benefit us – it’s better for our work, too. We’ve always put our heart and soul into our work, but now, we’re backing it up with pride and continuing to turn out a better product. At all levels of Zehnder, clients will be working with employee owners who are deeply invested in the success of the company and the quality of service. And you just can’t beat that dedication.

The transition to ESOP doesn’t change the management structure of our agency – but it does allow employees to earn stock in the company. Over time, Zehnder stock will be allocated to our team, allowing them to reap the benefits of all of their hard work.

This long-term retirement benefit turns employees into owners, making our commitment to high-quality work all the more personal. This move is a powerful driver of performance, and a long-term investment towards our employees’ financial wellness. By creating a culture of ownership, work becomes a true team effort. And by building a community and sharing knowledge, we’re creating future leaders and building a more sustainable future for Zehnder.
