Employee Ownership
In 2019, deciBel Research became a 100% employee-owned company. To us, that means we aren’t just employees coming to do a job—we are partners deeply invested in our shared future and the critical national security missions we support. Because we are entirely employee-owned, we experience distinct, powerful benefits that go far beyond a traditional workplace.
- We share directly in the company’s financial success: The hard work and innovation we pour into our work increases the value of our own stake in the company. When the company thrives, we thrive.
- We collaborate as partners: Because each employee is an owner working toward the same goals, we support one another with an unmatched level of transparency, teamwork, and mutual respect.
- We empower our employee owners: We believe the people closest to the technology make the best decisions. As an owner, our employee’s voice matters. We empower each of them to bring new ideas and drive process improvements that directly impact our customers’ missions and our bottom line.
- We Invest heavily in employee growth: We know that our company’s success depends on our individual professional development. As owners investing in our own team, we prioritize long-term staff development and retention, which has been the cornerstone of our success for over two decades.
