Case Study: MET Group streamlines employee share trading with Optio Incentives

MET Group automates its 1,450-employee share programme with Optio Incentives, cutting post-window errors to zero

MET Group, a major European energy company, faced a challenge when its previous equity platform exited the market. Its unique Employee Share Programme, which rewards high-performing employees at all levels, required bespoke handling that standard platforms could not accommodate without significant manual workarounds. The company sought a new vendor and selected Optio Incentives for its flexibility.

Optio implemented a tailored solution that automated compliance checks, enabled mobile trading, and streamlined document generation. This eliminated all post-trading window errors and substantially reduced administrative overhead. The first trading window on the new platform ran smoothly with great shareholder satisfaction, and the program continues to serve as a powerful motivation and retention tool for MET Group.
