Embracing Employee Ownership for a thriving culture

RPA Ltd, a leading professional services consultancy, embarked on an exciting journey in April 2019 by transitioning into an employee-owned business.

This pivotal moment in our history allowed the original founders to retire, while empowering the next generation of leaders to steer RPA into its future.

At RPA, our leadership team and culture revolve around people. As a consultancy whose product is its people, we firmly believe that “People Matter,” which is one of our core values. Embracing employee ownership has provided us with a valuable avenue to foster a more engaged and motivated workforce.

Being employee-owned supports the strong sense of unity and purpose already existing within our organisation. RPA is an exceptional place to work, which enables us to deliver outstanding value to our clients. Being employee owned enhances all of this.  We recognize the transformative potential of employee ownership in driving sustainable growth, promoting long-term thinking, and establishing a lasting legacy beyond financial gains.

In an employee-owned business model, a significant portion or the entire company is owned by its employees. This unique structure empowers the workforce to actively participate in decision-making processes and nurtures a culture of shared responsibility, collaboration, and long-term vision.

Currently, RPA is 75% owned by its employees. However, irrelevant of ownership, our leadership team firmly believe that any company striving for an engaged team must ensure that employees have a role in sharing responsibilities, reaping rewards, and shaping the organization’s future. By prioritizing transparency, open communication, and trust, we create an environment where every voice is valued, fostering innovation, resilience, and a profound sense of pride and commitment among our team.

Employee ownership further solidifies these ideals and integrates them into our governance and processes. It also allows us to distribute up to £3,600 of profit tax-free to our co-owners, providing an additional benefit of being part of the RPA team.
