Emails, and Phone Calls, and Webinars … Oh My!
Our popular “Meet the Speaker” series, featuring interviews with speakers at the 25th Annual NASPP Conference, is a great way to get to know our many distinguished speakers and find out a little more about their sessions in advance of the Conference.
For today’s “Meet the Speaker” interview, we feature an interview with Catrice Cooke of Discovery Communications, who will lead the session “Emails, and Phone Calls, and Webinars … Oh My!” Here is what Catrice had to say:
NASPP: Why do you feel strongly about participant education?
Catrice: Based on an online survey from 2016, participants who are more knowledgeable about their stock plans have higher satisfaction, are more loyal, and have a higher sense of ownership in the company. Knowledge is power and we must equip our employees to make good decisions.
NASPP: What is one action should companies be taking now?
Catrice: Developing innovative and creative methods to educate employees via the web, video, email, print, and in-person meetings.
NASPP: What is the silver lining to participant education?
Catrice: There is a wealth of knowledge available from a multitude of sources that can aid your employees in becoming more knowledgeable about equity plans. Leveraging internal and external resources can provide the best mix of information for employees.
NASPP: What is your favorite restaurant or tourist attraction in DC?
Catrice: My favorite restaurant in DC is Carmines in Penn Quarter. For happy hour, they have the best frozen cosmo’s and wings. I always leave with a smile on my face!
