Gives Employees Interest In Firm
Bernard Spero built House of Vision from a failing Milwaukee area firm into a 23 branch Midwest optical company. He shares 49 percent with employees through a profit sharing plan, funding 20 percent of pretax earnings plus individual contributions. Workers’ stakes grow with tenure, with one paraplegic rising to 12,600 and a bookkeeper at 7,932. Spero, owner of 51 percent, caps executive shares to prevent hogging and aims to let survivors keep control for continuity. He argues profit sharing aligns labor and management and may strengthen small business nationwide.
