See ShareForce in Action
Employees who understand the value of their equity are more likely to stay, perform, and think like owners. Yet most companies still manage participant communication through spreadsheets, PDFs and one-off emails, leaving staff guessing at what their awards are actually worth. ShareForce’s participant portal replaces that guesswork with a single, secure home for every award: what its worth today, what it could be worth under different scenarios, and what to do next.
Clear, transparent insights
Employees get an intuitive, real-time view of every award they hold, vesting terms, gross and new values, and projected outcomes under different scenarios. Instead of asking HR to explain a statement, participants can see for themselves exactly what their equity is worth and how it changes over time.
Branded, seamless experience
The portal is fully custom-branded to match your company’s identity, so it feels like a natural extension of your workplace rather than a bolted-on vendor tool. A consistent, familiar experience reinforces the sense that equity is part of the culture not an afterthought.
Global access and currency flexibility
For companies with employees across multiple countries, the portal displays accurate, localised valuations in each participant’s own currency, adjusted for local market conditions. Wherever your workforce is based, everyone sees figures that are relevant and correctly converted.
Real-time scenario modelling
Participants can run their own what-if scenarios, modelling how a share price movement or an additional vesting event would change their outcome, without waiting on finance or HR to run the numbers for them. This turns equity from an abstract benefit into something employees can actively plan around.
Secure and connected communications
All award-related communications; vesting notices, dividend updates and document requests are delivered through one encrypted channel instead of scattered emails. Participants always know where to look, and sensitive compensation data never has to travel through unsecured inboxes.
Why participant experience is a retention issue, not just an admin one
For HR and reward teams, the participant portal isn’t just a convenient feature, it’s often the only touchpoint an employee has with their equity between grant and vest. A confusing or outdated experience undermindes the very thing the incentive plan was designed to build: a sense of ownership. Giving participants clarity and control over their own awards turns equity compensation into a visible, ongoing part of the employee value proposition, rather than a line item they only think about once a year.
