Renew employee ownership in your business
Focused support to help you renew employee ownership and navigate leadership succession in your business.
Done well, there are many benefits to being employee-owned.
But keeping the momentum going over time can be hard. Challenges such as navigating leadership succession and sustaining engagement in the responsibilities that come with your model can be tough.
At Telos Partners, we understand.
We can help renew employee ownership in your business for you, your employee owners, your leaders and your trustees.

Why support to renew your EO matters
When budgets are tight, it’s tempting to put off vital tasks such as planning your leadership succession – or to try to renew your employee ownership culture and governance on your own.
Yet investing in focused professional support at the right time can make all the difference.
Our EO team has a sound record of working with clients to leverage their employee ownership as they adapt to the opportunities and challenges of leadership succession and a changing world.
What we help you do

How we support owners, leaders and trustees to renew EO
Owners
We work with employee owners to help them continue to develop an ownership and growth mindset and develop their leadership and management capabilities.
Leaders
We work with your leadership team to help them to navigate business uncertainty and change and prepare internal candidates for leadership succession.
Trustees
We work with your trust board to plan for and navigate leadership succession and change.
This includes enabling you to find and appoint high-calibre independent trustees through our partnership with leading executive search business Russam.

CEO, employee-owned waste management software company
‘We underestimated the amount of work involved in making our business employee-owned. There was a temptation to not use [your] skills but we could not have done it ourselves.... As a small business, it makes a real difference to have that outside voice advising you.’

‘We wanted [an Independent Trustee] who had already sat on an EOT Board and knew what was required. Immediately we started working [together], I felt I was in the hands of people who knew what they were doing. [You] delivered maximum results with minimum disruption.’
