Overview
Executive assistant jobs at employee-owned companies harmonize organizational finesse with a culture of shared ownership, defining a dynamic and collaborative professional arena. With a direct stake in their company’s success, executive assistants not only provide vital support to company leaders but also manage complex calendars, coordinate meetings, handle sensitive information, prepare reports, and serve as a central point of contact, contributing to the organization's enduring success by ensuring effective executive workflows and aligning their expertise with the collective prosperity of the company.
Executive assistant jobs typically require strong organizational and communication skills, proficiency in office software and equipment, discretion in handling confidential information, adaptability to dynamic work environments, and the ability to manage multiple tasks while providing exceptional support to company leaders. The convergence of administrative proficiency and an ownership culture cultivates a motivated, empowered, and cohesive workforce, propelling seamless executive operations and contributing to the company's lasting success by delivering exceptional support that resonates with both individual professionalism and the shared well-being of its employee-owners.
Employee Ownership
Employee ownership changes the relationship between the company and employee. Today there are 6,400 employee-owned companies in America.
Wealth Building
Working at an employee-owned company provides tremendous wealth-building benefits beyond conventional roles. Employee-owned companies provide every employee with reasonable access to ownership through broad-based structures such as Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs), or even Direct Share Ownership Plans (DSOPs).
Ownership aligns interests and encourages wealth accumulation as the company thrives, enhancing the financial security of the employee-owners and positively impacting the culture of the business.
Ownership Culture
Broad-based ownership creates alignment, fosters commitment, increases collaboration, and drives innovation. Giving employees a direct financial stake in the success of the company incentivizes efficiency, leads to improved decision-making, and increases customer satisfaction. The shared responsibility created by an ownership culture strengthens the company’s performance, which benefits employees through shared ownership.
