This October, we celebrate the power of Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), a model that gives employees a true stake in the success of their company.

At ICS, we see a unique connection between ESOPs and captive ownership. Just as ESOP employees foster a culture of ownership and accountability, captive members bring the same strategy to owning their own insurance company, sharing in the rewards, control, and long-term stability that come from partnering with like-minded companies.

We’re especially proud to recognize OWN Health, an ICS captive exclusively for ESOP companies. Here’s to the power of shared ownership, in business and beyond!
