resultattillgång

Resultattillgång is a Swedish term that translates to "profit sharing" or "profit distribution." It refers to the practice of distributing a portion of a company's profits among its employees. This can take various forms, such as direct cash bonuses, stock options, or contributions to employee savings plans. The specific implementation and eligibility criteria for resultattillgång vary significantly between different organizations and are often determined by collective bargaining agreements or company policy.

The primary objective of resultattillgång is to incentivize employees by linking their compensation to the company's financial performance. By sharing in the profits, employees are encouraged to work more efficiently and contribute to the overall success of the business. This can foster a stronger sense of ownership and commitment among the workforce.

Historically, resultattillgång has been a common practice in Sweden, particularly in industries with strong union representation. While the prevalence and structure of these schemes have evolved over time, the underlying principle of sharing company success with employees remains a relevant concept in modern human resource management. The effectiveness of resultattillgång is often debated, with arguments suggesting it can boost morale and productivity, while others point to potential complexities in calculation and distribution, and the risk of it becoming an entitlement rather than a true incentive.
