The 4 tenets of accounting firm DHG’s return-to-work program
Called ‘DHG Anywhere,’ the new set of hybrid policies come after employees called for a new normal.
Dixon Hughes Goodman, the largest public accounting firm in the Southern U.S., has launched a return-to-work strategy, titled “DHG Anywhere.”
The plan embraces a hybrid workforce for all of its 2,300 employees, including those at its corporate headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, starting in September.
“Without a doubt, it was clear that our team members desired a more flexible approach,” says Tricia Wilson, managing partner of talent and leadership and executive sponsor for the program. “We heard time and time again that team members wanted to continue having the flexibility to work from home. This truly informed our decision to go hybrid.”
The resulting policies included:
- A hybrid-by-default setting for all employees
- A flexible workplace policy designed to take in client, team, and employee needs
- The creation of “Align Groups” to maintain culture and career accountability
- Free addressing for office spaces
DHG used several tactics to inform its decision, including a task force and extensive use of employee surveys.
