Employee stock option plans (ESOPs) are extensively used, particularly in the US, where startups are increasingly using them to reward key employees. These plans grant employees the opportunity to become shareholders or gain share benefits based on set conditions. ESOPs have gained traction in Turkey, benefiting both companies and employees.
