Turn Your Job Into Ownership

Employee ownership creates stable jobs, fairer pay, and a real voice at work. At RMEOC, we help workers across Colorado become owners — building wealth and security together.

What Employee Ownership Means for Workers

Employee ownership means more than just a paycheck — it’s about having a stake in the business you help build. Instead of all the profits going to outside investors or a single owner, workers share in the success.

Workers in employee-owned businesses experience:

  1. Job Stability – Businesses are less likely to close or be sold.
  2. Wealth-Building – Profits are shared, giving workers a pathway to financial security.
  3. A Voice at Work – Employees help shape decisions that affect their jobs and futures.
  4. Stronger Communities – Locally owned businesses keep money in Colorado neighborhoods.

Benefits of Employee Ownership

Why Worker Ownership Matters

Higher Wages & Benefits

Employee-owned businesses often pay above-market wages and offer stronger retirement plans.

Workplace Democracy

Workers have a say in how the company is run, creating fairer and more transparent workplaces.

Shared Success

When the company does well, everyone benefits — not just executives or outside shareholders.

Stronger Retention

Employee-owned businesses tend to have lower turnover, creating more stable teams.

Success Stories: Workers Who Became Owners

Across Colorado, workers are already seeing the benefits of ownership.
