In this month's xCollective we’re discussing an exciting subject! Well, exciting for some, less for others. Nevertheless, a topic that occupies the minds of many founders. We’re going to talk about employee incentive plans and the different approaches you can take. Or the big five, as our guest Bas Jorissen, founding partner at Archipel Tax Advice, likes to call them.

As a ‘tax guy’ Bas is a big fan of employee incentives schemes, and not only because the tax side of it is fascinating. He believes that these types of incentives help companies perform better. “Employee incentive schemes help with employee retention and motivation, and that’s not just my word. Research of the Harvard Business Review shows, companies perform a third better after implementing incentive plans perform than before.” Bas shares.
