授予员工权利-〉让他们感觉自己是公司的主人翁 -〉增强对公司的归属感 From this logic, "vested in" still finally leads to "a sense of belonging to the company".
dd dd Nov 10, 2008:
But why only in the future, why not now?
dd dd Nov 10, 2008:
Could it be: vested = given the authority or right?

Tony M: I am confused with the meaning of "vested in" as my dictionaries tell me that “vest in” means to give the official and lawful right to possess or use (power, property, etc.) to (someone), but it seems it doesn't fit in this sentence. Thank you!
Tony M Nov 9, 2008:
Yes, but what exactly is your question? What DO you understand, and what DON'T you understand? is it simply the verb 'vested' that is giving you problems?

feel secure in the future

That would be my interpretation to your sentence. I think the author uses the word 'vested' metaphorically.

to feel involved in the company's future

Yet another connotation of this word.
SwissTell's and Ioanna's answers are also good. Really the best way to put it is "to feel securely involved in the future of the company."
Good luck.
