stock option plan/program (ESOP)
Explanation:
Common abbreviation is ESOP - employee stock option plan. If your target is BE, use scheme instead of plan/program. I'm surprised this isn't the the archives!!

neutral  Textklick: Agree - but UK "share" instead of "stock" and "plan" instead of "program"

agree  RobinB: But isn't ESOP also (and perhaps more commonly) an "employee stock ownership program", i.e. a deferred compensation plan (stock purchase, etc.). Even in the UK, though, "stock option" is rapidly overtaking "share option".

agree  Jeff Steffin: in a North American context this is the best solution
2 hrs
neutral  Gisela Greenlee: ESOP stands for employee stock ownership plan, as RobinB pointed out, and a stock option plan is not quite the same as a employee stock ownership plan.

agree  Alison Schwitzgebel

agree  Steffen Walter: You seem to be right with ESOP - employees are mentioned in the context.
