      Companies face the challenge of attracting qualified staff, retaining them in the long term and, at the same time, ensuring that remuneration is cost-effective. Employee share schemes can be an effective tool in this regard: they create incentives, strengthen loyalty to the company and link individual performance to the company’s success.
