Employee ownership serves as the foundation of businesses throughout the world, in almost every industry. Today, more than 18 million workers in the United States have some ownership stake in the place they work. A democratic workplace is more than just a way to make jobs better, it’s a way to make companies better.
Whether you’re interested in converting your business to a worker-owned cooperative, establishing an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), or implementing a hybrid model of employee ownership, the ICA Group can help.

The ICA Group is dedicated to building resilient industries by developing sector-specific networks and secondary cooperatives that empower workers and communities. We focus on industries like home care, child care, and alternative staffing—where collective action can improve job quality, increase worker voice, and address structural inequities. By supporting the formation of worker-owned businesses and the cooperative infrastructure that connects them, we help build ecosystems that foster long-term sustainability and shared prosperity. Join us in transforming industries through cooperation, coordination, and collective ownership.
