A Workplace That Actually Listens

Most companies say they care about their employees. But caring isn't just a feeling — it shows up in actions. At Donnelley Financial LLC (DFIN), listening to employees is baked into how the company operates every single day.

DFIN runs quarterly engagement surveys to keep a steady pulse on how people feel. That's not a once-a-year checkbox. It's a real, ongoing conversation between the company and its people. Feedback flows in, and leaders take it seriously.

This commitment to listening is one of the reasons DFIN has earned the Most Loved Workplace® Certified badge four years running — 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 — and is already certified for 2026.

From Feedback to Real Change

Listening means nothing without action. At DFIN, feedback doesn't disappear into a inbox. It shapes decisions.

Here are some ways DFIN has put employee voices into practice:

  • Flexible workplace arrangements and remote work options that reflect what employees actually need
  • New Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) launched in response to the desire for more inclusive community — including B.W.E.L.L. (Black Women Encouraging Leadership & Learning) and Open@DFIN (Owning our Pride & Equality Now)
  • A peer-to-peer recognition platform so employees can celebrate each other's contributions publicly
  • Mental health and wellbeing support programs built into the benefits structure
  • A fair and equitable pay review process to ensure compensation stays competitive and transparent

These aren't perks added for show. They are direct responses to what employees have asked for.

A Culture That Grows With Its People

DFIN's employee sentiment data reflects a workplace that is genuinely evolving. With a 4.44 overall rating, 90% of employees say they trust their managers, feel connected to their colleagues, and love where they work. And 77% would recommend DFIN to someone they care about.

Those numbers reflect years of consistent effort — not a one-time push.

The company scores a perfect 90 across all five pillars of the Most Loved Workplace® assessment: Systemic Collaboration, Positive Vision for the Future, Alignment of Values, Respect, and Killer Outcomes. That kind of balance only comes when leadership keeps listening and keeps improving.

Recognition That Reflects Real Progress

DFIN's most loved workplace journey has earned recognition across many dimensions. In 2025 alone, DFIN was certified as a Most Loved Workplace® for:

  • Diversity, Neurodiversity, and Inclusivity
  • Women, LGBTQ+, African American, and Disabled Workers
  • Mental Health and Wellness
  • Parents & Caregivers and Volunteering
  • Young Professionals and Career Advancement
  • Remote Work

DFIN also ranked in the Global Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® and the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® 2025. These badges aren't handed out — they're earned through real employee sentiment and verified data.
