Jack Dorsey has told Twitter employees that he will give them a third of his shares in the company in move widely seen as intended to boost morale in the business following hundreds of staff lay-offs earlier this month.

The Twitter chief executive will give away stock worth around $197m (£128m) to employees, which would mean the 3700 staff would own 1 per cent of the company.

Dorsey said in a tweet that the move was part of his plan to “reinvest directly in our people”.
