Welcome to EO Boost

A virtual event delivered by the Employee Ownership Association, offering engaging learning and insightful discussions on what good business and employee ownership (EO) succession looks like – for individuals, businesses and the UK economy.

Why EO?

Evidenced as driving better governance and oversight, increased productivity via engaged employees and rooting jobs in regions for the longer term and being more resilient in a crisis, EO in the UK is more relevant than ever to an economy and society that needs to Build Back Better after COVID-19.

Employee ownership is growing as a succession plan for SMEs and family owned businesses with – 50% of the overall growth of the EO sector having taken place since 2017.
