How can global enterprises transform complex compliance and equity education into high-impact employee engagement?

Discover the innovative playbook Rachel Ulep uses to reach 12,000 eBay employees.

In this episode of Invested at Work, host Rodney Bolden sits down with Rachel Ulep, Director of Global Stock and Equity Programs at eBay, live at Morgan Stanley’s annual Thrive conference. Rachel discusses her team’s recent injection of creativity and whimsy into employee education—from compliance training to equity compensation sessions. Leaning into eBay’s love of collectibles, they designed trading cards as an employee education tool; they also developed employee-facing AI agents and gamified elements of live stock information sessions for the company’s 12,000 global employees. All to make education more effective and accessible and reach a 70% ESPP enrollment rate.

Listen for Rachel’s employee-centered approach, and the difference equity compensation education can make in employees’ lives.

Rachel Ulep has led eBay’s global stock and equity programs since 2018. Before joining eBay, Rachel administered stock plans at TIBCO and multinationals including Accenture and AOL Time Warner. She’s dedicated her entire career to effective stock plan administration and is passionate about employee-centric approaches.
