8 share plan resolutions for 2025

It’s a bit of a cliché, but this is a great time of year for reflection and goal-setting. Working out what went well last year – and what you might do differently.

For us, this year is all about transparency, cutting through jargon, and helping our clients foster genuine connection with their employees.

Your share plans are more than just benefits – they’re opportunities to share in the success of your organisation. By making them accessible, relatable, and engaging, you build stronger employee bonds that benefit both your people and your business.

If you’re thinking it might be time to revitalise your share plan communications in 2025, take a look at these eight ideas to get you started.

Make share plans easier to understand  

A lack of understanding is the single biggest barrier to participation. Simplify your communications with plain language, visuals, and interactive tools.

Personalise engagement strategies  

Move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. Tailor your communications based on factors like previous engagement with your plan, tenure, or working location.

Celebrate success stories  

Nothing inspires employees like seeing their colleagues succeed. Share relatable stories of your people achieving their goals with the help of your share plan.  

Invest in technology  

Make 2025 the year you supercharge engagement with your plan. A device-responsive, fully accessible microsite can cost less than you think.

Boost financial literacy across the organisation  

Share plans are a fantastic first step in introducing employees to investing. Why not build on this foundation by educating employees about key investing concepts?

Be tactical with your budget to leave room for communication

Don’t let communications be an afterthought. Set aside some resource for high-quality, engaging communications to make sure employees see your plan’s value.  

Make sure no employee pays unnecessary CGT

Tax surprises can erode employee trust and engagement. Provide clear, accessible information on CGT and ways to mitigate it.

Make sure your comms partner knows financial services

Don’t risk misunderstandings or regulatory breaches. Work with financial communications specialists to make sure your materials are compliant, clear, and engaging.

2025 is a year of opportunity to improve engagement and participation in your share plans. Start by setting these resolutions in motion - you’ll create more value for your employees and your business.
