Equity by Design –
Making Ownership Reflect Your Culture
November 18, 2025 | 11:30 AM - 1:15 PM
Eclipse di Luna
4505 Ashford Dunwoody Road
Atlanta
Join the Atlanta Area Compensation Association (AACA) for a thought-provoking discussion on how equity connects culture, communication, and compensation strategy.
Session Overview:
Equity compensation is often viewed through a financial lens — but its true power lies in how it communicates what your organization values. In this session, we’ll explore how to design equity programs that align with company culture, reinforce trust, and create meaningful connection with employees.
Through practical insights and real-world examples, you’ll learn how to:
- Align plan design with organizational purpose and employee experience.
- Simplify complex equity vehicles into clear, actionable frameworks.
- Communicate value effectively to improve understanding and engagement.
