Employee Owned. People Powered.

In an ESOP, we each have the opportunity to affect how HFA performs financially, which in turn is reflected in our shares each year. Acting like an employee owner at HFA is similar to how you act with your personal life and finances. We can create savings for our retirement by acting in the best interest of the company and ourselves each day and with each project. It motivates me to always look for improvements and efficiencies we can make as an organization because we're all in the ESOP together. The better I do, the better you do!

Being an employee of an ESOP, I am not just an employee; I am a stakeholder with a vested interest in the company's performance and future. This ownership fosters a deep sense of accountability, motivation, and loyalty, as I am not just working for a paycheck, but for the collective prosperity of our organization and fellow employee owners. It's a unique opportunity to be part of something bigger than myself and to share in the rewards of our collective hard work and dedication.

Being an employee of an ESOP brings tangible effects to our everyday work as we, more directly, benefit from the company's success. Knowing each year the company performs well financially, the shares in our retirement accounts grow, instills a new sense of commitment and responsibility in everyone's work. Employee ownership is also a fantastic manifestation of our 'people first' culture of empowerment' at HFA. Everyone benefits from a collective effort!

HFA recently became an ESOP, which means all employees have ownership interest in the company. All employees are given stock, so we have a direct tie between the company's financial growth and our own personal financial growth. Employees don't have to pay for these stocks, we invest in the company through our dedication to our work. Viewing myself as an owner, encourages me to be a cheerleader for everyone across the company because I know our success is collective.

At HFA, being an employee means more than just a job – it means ownership. Through our Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP), I receive company stock annually, aligning my financial success with HFA's growth. This shared ownership inspires collaboration and innovation, benefiting both the company and our clients. As HFA thrives, our shares grow, offering long-term financial rewards and retirement benefits. Employee ownership is not just a program here; it's a reflection of our 'people first' culture, where collective efforts translate into shared success.

In an ESOP, HFA provides me with stock in the company each year at no cost to me. The value and quantity of ownership continues to grow every year until I retire or leave HFA. So the better HFA does financially as a company, the better I do financially as an individual. Basically, an ESOP is a profit-sharing program that keeps growing, like an IRA or our 401K, that we can use for retirement.
