Paul J. Ford & Company makes saving for retirement easy. Since 1994, the firm has been an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) company and became 100% employee owned in 2015. As an ESOP, our employees have a direct stake in the company, a position that they do not take lightly. In the role of employee owners, we are empowered to react quickly and make decisions in the best interest of our clients. Employees are automatically enrolled in the ESOP which is driven by the profitability of the company and not by employee contributions. Basically, employees get significant benefits at no cost to them. Historically, ESOP funds have provided a higher rate of return than other retirement plans which means higher employee balances. Research has also shown that ESOP companies are more profitable, grow faster, have more productive employees and ultimately a lower employee turnover rate.
