What happens when employees stop thinking like workers and start thinking like owners?
Employee ownership can be a powerful strategy for improving business performance, increasing engagement, and creating long-term value.
In this episode of The Palumbo Podcast, Philip Palumbo sits down with Rafael Rivera of KKR’s Capstone team and Human Capital Center to explore how broad-based employee ownership programs are changing the way companies operate and share in their success.
Rafael explains how giving employees a financial stake in the businesses they help build can create stronger alignment between employees, management, and investors. He also shares how frontline workers can identify opportunities for operational improvements that might otherwise go unnoticed.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
- How employee ownership programs work and why companies implement them
- Why giving employees a financial stake can improve engagement and performance
- How KKR approaches broad-based employee ownership
- How employees can benefit financially when a business is sold
- Why frontline employees can be a valuable source of innovation
- How financial education and transparency strengthen ownership culture

Employee ownership isn’t just about sharing profits. It’s about creating a culture where people are invested in the company’s success and have the opportunity to benefit from the value they help create.
Whether you’re a business owner, investor, executive, or entrepreneur, this conversation offers a different perspective on how companies can grow by investing in their people.
