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

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.
