Company Profile
 

100% Employee Owned

NCI enhanced its culture in 2015 by becoming a 100% employee-owned company. NCI implemented an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that allows our employees to share in the company’s growth and success.

NCI has built its reputation by providing value-added technology services and superior IT expertise. NCI's President, Ben Carlsrud stated, “The establishment of the ESOP encourages employees to strengthen this reputation by rewarding them with the benefits of ownership that come from a successful business.”

With an ESOP, NCI employees acquire ownership in the form of stock in the company. The employees earn stock based on the company's performance. The ESOP structure improves employee benefits and financial flexibility as well as creates an added employee incentive for company growth.
