Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) is an employee benefit scheme under which the company encourages its employees to acquire ownership in the form of shares. These shares are allotted to the employees at a rate considerably lesser than the prevailing market rate. Apart from the employee-benefit motive, ESOPs are also meant to align the interests of the employees with that of the shareholders. It is believed that the employees, who are also the shareholders, will focus better on company performance and growth so that the value of their shares appreciates.
