An Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) is a company program that lets employees buy the company’s shares at a reduced price, usually by setting aside a small portion of their pay over time. It matters to investors because it encourages employees to own part of the business—like giving staff a discounted membership— which can boost commitment and performance, while also potentially increasing the number of shares available and affecting shareholder value.
