New draft Regulations will allow companies listed in China to offer stock ownership plans that could increase staff retention, but without additional incentives employees may be reluctant to participate

The China Securities and Regulatory Commission (CSRC) announced the move to allow more staff to benefit from stock ownership at the beginning of August. The draft Regulations set out an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that entitles employees of listed firms to purchase stocks on the secondary market.

“When employees' personal wealth is bound together with the company, they will keep business goals in mind, strive to find more customers and be devoted to cost savings that eventually benefit the company as well,” said Wang Lixing, a partner with King & Wood Mallesons.
