What is an ESOP? The Power of Employee Ownership at MyPath

In the human services and education sectors, many organizations are nonprofits or large, for-profit corporations. MyPath is different. We are a 100% employee-owned company.

We Own This: A 100% Employee-Owned Company

MyPath shares are held in a trust for our employees through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, or ESOP. This employee ownership model is a source of tremendous pride and is fundamental to our success. It shapes our workplace culture, enhances our services, and strengthens our relationships with families and funders.

Every employee-owner is personally invested in our company’s success and motivated to deliver the highest quality of care. We each have a direct stake in the outcomes we produce for the 2,000 people we serve each year. We only succeed when they succeed.

Our commitment to ownership has fueled our growth, making us the third-largest healthcare and human services ESOP in the nation.

The ESOP model creates a unique culture of accountability and shared purpose that directly benefits the individuals and families we support.

The Value of a Unified Team

Our employee-owners feel a powerful sense of togetherness. As John Sholund, Admissions Coordinator at The Richardson School-Madison, notes, being an ESOP company makes him feel that "we are in this together." This collaborative spirit means everyone is working toward the same goal: providing exceptional support and achieving positive outcomes.
