Employee Ownership Matters
The Impact of Shared Success
Employee ownership is a different approach to business and a game-changer for everyone involved. Employee-owned companies produce a culture of committed and empowered employees, who are deeply motivated to serve their customers, and their communities. As a 100% employee-owned company, Guttman Holdings’ employee owners are directly invested in the success of the company. As a result, our customers, and the communities we serve – also reap the benefits.
Benefits To Our Employee Owners, Their Families & Our Company
A Business Model That Rewards Everyone
Wealth Building Accumulation & Enhanced Retirement Savings
The biggest benefit of employee ownership is the ability to build life-changing and equitable wealth. As our company grows and becomes more profitable, the value of our ESOP and our employee owners’ shares increase, resulting in financial gains and increased retirement savings.
Increased Financial Education & Literacy
We want our employee owners to understand how their actions affect the company’s performance and their own financial well-being. We provide financial education and resources to empower employee owners to make better personal financial decisions, further enhancing their ability to reach their goals and prosper.
Personal Empowerment & Growth
Working for an employee-owned company like Guttman Holdings fosters a sense of empowerment, pride, and personal growth. Our employee owners have a greater role in company decisions and a clearer understanding of how their actions contribute to the company’s success – often leading to higher job satisfaction and a more fulfilling career.
Increased Engagement, Collaboration & Enhanced Company Culture
When our employee owners are financially invested in the growth of the business, they develop a sense of ownership knowing they are part of something bigger, including a stronger, more cohesive team. This link between effort and reward also means employee owners are more motivated and engaged at work.
Increased Job Security & Retention
Employee-owned companies tend to have lower turnover rates and higher job security. Because our employee owners have a financial stake in the company, they are more committed to its success, leading to a more stable and productive work environment.

The Local Value of Employee Ownership
Wealth Stays Local
ESOP companies emphasize the importance of remaining and investing in the community. Stronger companies that are rooted in place create more robust local economies.
Stable Jobs
Communities benefit from companies who provide jobs for local people. The job stability offered to Guttman Holdings’ employee owners translates into a stronger and more resilient local economy. Employee-owned companies are often 4x more likely
to retain jobs.
Philanthropic & Volunteer Support
ESOP companies demonstrate their commitment to local and disadvantaged communities through financial support and volunteer service. Guttman employee owners volunteer their time and provide donations to local charities, organizations, and events.
Sustainable Growth
As an employee-owned company, we prioritize sustainable growth, focusing on our long-term success rather than short-term gains, which allows us to make strategic decisions that benefit our company, customers, communities, and local economies.
Ownership Creates Impact
For Our Company, Customers, and Communities
Whether you’re a current or prospective employee owner of Guttman Energy, Inc. or Source One Transportation, Inc., a customer, or part of the communities we serve, employee ownership creates clear, lasting value. Our employee owners have a direct financial interest in our company’s growth and our customers’ success. That shared investment drives higher performance, stronger service, and long-term relationships. As our ESOP grows, so do the opportunities for our people, our customers, and the communities we call home.
