The employees interests is to get as many clients as possible to provide a good clean service to help the community and get rewards.

This means that any funds that Tesco earns from their sales goes directly to them while with Oxfam any income they make is only used for charitable causes and paying their staff. However one big difference is that if in the unfortunate event that both companies fell into any kind of debt then a company such as Tesco could use its assets to pay of the debts. With Oxfam they would have to rely on the donations they receive from their customers. And may even have to pay of their debts with the money they have and use for
The staff/employees of Oxfam influence the charity greatly and are the main reason as to why the charity is successful. They provide the friendly customer service to those who decide to shop at the Oxfam stores. Staff usually do work for free so this allows Oxfam to spend more on developing third world countries, again this has an impressive influence.
The ownership of Oxfam is that it is a charitable trust; therefore it does not have an ownership. However, it can fall under the voluntary sector because Oxfam is supervised by trustees who set up to provide a service to the wise community in order to raise funds and support those who are in need. If something was to happen to Oxfam, they have a choice to donate to another charity and keep the business running.

If for example this was to change, and the volunteers and employees no longer agreed with mission statements, they would be less likely to volunteer meaning Oxfam would have less money to fund their cause, because they would have to employ more staff. They voluntarily help to run and operate the business, this is very helpful to Oxfam because it means they can save money, and invest in other areas of the business. The employees at Oxfam have a huge influence on the business because they give up their personal time because they believe in social justice.
