profit-sharing

System whereby employees share in a company's profits, either through profit-related pay (usually an additional payment when a firm's profits are good) or by offering employees shares or options to buy shares on preferential terms. Profit-sharing is designed to give the workforce a vested interest in their company's fortunes.

It originated in France in the early 19th century and was widely practised for a time within the cooperative movement.
