Workiva ESPP: how it works and whether to max it

If Workiva offers an ESPP, here's how to value it against an RSU-heavy comp package.

About Workiva equity

Workiva (WK, HQ IA) grants RSUs to employees and also runs an Employee Stock Purchase Plan with a quarterly vesting cadence.

Whether to max it

If Workiva's ESPP has a 15% discount with a lookback, participation is typically the highest-return use of cash available to you (roughly 17-30% pre-tax per offering period). The cap is the IRS $25,000 contribution limit per calendar year.
