Do Employee-Owned Federal Contractors Perform Better?

Tom Temin, host of Federal Drive on Federal News Network, interviewed research analyst James Hasik on his analysis of Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs) and the performance of employee-owned federal contractors. His analysis suggests a higher likelihood of an excellent or very good rating on professional services contracts with an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) contractor than with other firms.

Temin and Hasik also discuss possible reasons behind these findings, including:

• Greater care when employees have a financial stake in the long-term success of the company
• Longer tenure, higher income, better benefits
• Conservative growth strategy and resistance to consolidation.
