Course Summary

Equity can be a great addition to your employees’ compensation packages, but it’s important to remember that managing stock options comes with more considerations than a direct-deposit paycheck.

Ethena’s Equity 101 course will turn your team into stock options experts. It covers the ins and outs of taxes and legal considerations so your employees can not only appreciate their equity investment, but make the most of it long term.

Why is this training important?

Training employees on equity compensation is crucial for fostering understanding, engagement, and alignment with the company’s goals and values. Equity compensation, such as stock options, restricted stock units, or employee stock purchase plans, represents a significant component of many employees’ total compensation package. By providing comprehensive training on how equity compensation works, including its potential benefits, risks, and tax implications, employees can make informed decisions regarding their financial future and feel more invested in the success of your company.
