Ownership
Think and act like an entrepreneur? You’ll be right at home. Being 100% employee owned means the financial benefits of business ownership are available to everyone. Even among 100% employee-owned companies, we’re different because no individual owns more than 3.5% of our firm. After just 1,000 hours of work, you can buy stock in our annual stock exchange, and every dollar you purchase is 100% vested immediately.
Culture of Design
Our design culture is a common language that permeates everything we do. In addition to regular charrettes and critiques, every year you’ll take two dedicated days away from project work: Design Days. Along with everyone in the firm, you’ll recharge your creativity, use your craft to dream big, and rethink how we challenge each other toward design excellence.
About Us
DLR Group is an integrated design firm and is 100% employee-owned with all stock held within an employee stock ownership plan, or an ESOP. Employee-ownership has been part of our corporate structure since 1978.
We foster a culture that incentivizes collaboration. Driven by opportunity, we make decisions that impact not only our success but also our clients and partners. All of which are rooted in our core values of commitment, sharing, fun, creativity, environmental stewardship, integrity, ownership, and teamwork.
Equity Forum
Everyone deserves access to opportunity, reward, safety, and security, regardless of their identity. Our commitment to a more equitable and just society means we invest time, energy, and resources to bring about positive outcomes for historically excluded people through design.
Our Equity Forum is a group of cross-disciplinary employee owners and leaders. The Forum engages employee-owners to explore where inequities may exist within our own walls and industry and take action to make a positive, lasting impact.
