When you offer your employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) globally, you need to consider the different regulatory, taxation and legislative requirements for each region. These vary by jurisdiction and must be addressed and managed when setting up the plan to ensure your ESPP is compliant from the start – and stays compliant.
At the same time, you want to be sure your plan managers and participants around the globe enjoy the same exceptional online environment when interacting with your plan. To give your global employees a consistent experience, you need one provider offering a single ESPP management platform for your plans team, with a participant portal and mobile app, allowing employees to engage with their portfolios through their channel of choice.
