Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Employee-Owned

In 1993, Acadian instituted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), giving employees the opportunity to own private stock in the company. Acadian sets up a trust fund for qualifying employees and contributes new shares of its own stock or cash to buy existing shares. Acadian employees currently own 80% of the company stock.

Through this structure, employees own the company, giving them a sense of pride and a stronger investment in their work. Acadian employee-owners see every day as an opportunity to make a difference.

Our passion and compassion guide our actions as we treat more than just the injury or ailment, but the person as a whole. Our innovation and use of new technology help us to improve our services and care for our customers.

A key benefit of this plan is that our employees truly are owners, and therefore are more invested in the work they do. When employees have a sense of pride and ownership in the company, they strengthen its foundation and promote continued growth.

Award-Winning

The ESOP Association and its Southwest Chapter have bestowed many awards upon our ESOP committee, employee-owners and our ESOP communications efforts, including:

2020: The ESOP Association awarded Acadian with the Annual Awards for Communications Excellence – Intranet award in the large companies category. TEA’s Southwest Chapter also presented four awards to Acadian Companies: ESOP Company of the Year, Most Effective ESOP Committee—Large Company, Communications Excellence—Poster and Communications Excellence—Intranet.
2019: The ESOP Association Southwest Chapter selected Acadian as its Company of the Year and Acadian Service Desk Specialist Jennifer Vice as its Employee-Owner of the Year. The chapter also recognized Acadian’s Intranet, known as Acadian Central, for Communications Excellence.
