Menke Client KJT Group Announces Transition to 100% Employee-Owned

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - EntSun -- KJT, a New York based market research consulting company has become 100% employee owned.   KJT turned to The Menke Group, the nation's largest advisor specializing in Employee Stock Ownership Plans to help execute the transaction.  Some 22,000 companies have adopted ESOPs since they became legal in 1974, according to Phil DeDominicis, Menke's senior East Coast investment banker who structured the transaction..  Most are small ― 70% have less than 250 employees ― and privately owned.

"I've considered transitioning to a 100% ESOP for the past few years and I'm very happy that this has finally become a reality," said Founder and CEO Dr. Kenneth J. Tomaszewski. "As a global professional services firm, our hard-working, dedicated employees are the lifeblood of KJT Group. Transitioning to an employee-owned company allows me to reward our employees for their dedication and commitment, many of whom have been with the company for more than 10 years. I believe it creates a more sustainable business model, here in Rochester, NY, for our employees and our clients. We expect that providing ownership to employees will lead to greater employee satisfaction, reduced turnover, and a more rewarding work experience. As a 100% employee owned company, we are able to create a more meaningful companywide culture of employee empowerment and responsibility."  Dr. Tomaszewski will remain the CEO and Chairperson.

An ESOP is a type of retirement plan popular for shareholder succession and employee benefit purposes.  In certain situations, they enable the long-term deferral of both capital and corporate taxes.  Employees do not pay out of pocket, either.  The company contributes cash to the employee stock trust which in turn bought stock from existing shareholders.  In addition to creating greater financial security for employees, ESOPs can also increase employee productivity and efficiency.  According to The Menke Group, this all helps to better align the interests of employees, management, and shareholders.
