It only works if you believe it works. It takes a culture of people who feel communication and innovation are key to success, and DLR Group has that culture. It's a mindset. With each practice in-house and at the table ready to collaborate, I find myself less siloed in my own design role than many of my peers." See all open positions Be An Owner DLR Group 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, and we have been 100% employee-owned since 2004. The concept of ownership, and its importance to our culture, cannot be overstated. Ownership is a core value. Driven by opportunity, employee-owners have a financial stake and a voice in where we go and how to get there. Annually, the first 8% of EBITDA profit is returned to all employees. Ownership in the firm is equitable with no one individual owning more than 4% of the firm, and any employee can purchase shares of the DLR Group ESOP during an annual stock exchange.
