Forsythe is a 100-percent employee-owned company through its employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). The Forsythe ESOP is a retirement plan that every employee is eligible for from their first day of employment. Employee-owners are not required to contribute any money to this plan.
At an ESOP-owned company, each employee has the opportunity not only to make a difference but also to benefit directly from the difference their contribution makes.
Like many ESOP-owned companies, Forsythe has established an Employee Ownership Team to help educate its employee-owners about the benefits and responsibilities of employee ownership. In 2007, Forsythe won an award from the National ESOP Association for excellence in communicating to employee-owners.
Here's what some of our employee-owners have to say about what ownership means to them:
Suzzette, Director, Support Services
"The opportunity to share in the success of the business."
Nasser, Director, Security Solutions
"Having my voice heard and benefiting from the fruit of our labor."
Sharon, Business Analyst
"Seeing my personal efforts contribute to the financial success of Forsythe, and sharing in the increased profitability."
Cully, Solution Delivery Director
"Ownership is an investment by Forsythe borne from my efforts and contribution to the greater good of the corporation."
