The recognition highlights DFIN’s performance across five critical metrics: belonging, values alignment, career advancement, positive future, and mutual respect. Unlike traditional workplace awards, the ranking by the Best Practice Institute relies exclusively on validated employee data collected from organizations across 40 industries and six continents.

DFIN CEO Dan Leib credited the firm’s internal culture for the achievement, noting that the values of collaboration and accountability directly influence the high-stakes financial compliance work the company provides to its clients. Kirk Williams, the firm’s Chief People and International Officer, added that the ranking serves as a benchmark for how the company empowers its workforce. According to Louis Carter, founder of the Best Practice Institute, the companies on this list distinguish themselves by fostering environments where staff feel heard and valued, which ultimately drives stronger business results.
