Voya Financial, a leading retirement, employee benefits, and investment management company, reports in a new survey that 70% of consumers “would more likely support a business that enables employee ownership." Eighty-six percent say it’s important that profits from local businesses stay in the community.
Voya’s Customer Insights & Research survey was conducted from May 8 to May 11, 2026, on the Ipsos eNation omnibus online platform among 1,005 adults aged 18-plus in the US. The results echo previous public opinion surveys showing very broad public support for employee ownership.
