Dudek invests in its employees and preserves a four-decade-long employee ownership culture by moving to 100% ESOP ownership.
Dudek, a leading multidisciplinary, environmental, and engineering consulting firm, announced that it has moved from being partially to wholly owned by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) as of Oct. 1, 2021.
“The resulting ownership and accountability that Dudek people demonstrate translates to immense value for our clients because they are contracting with people who are committed to their company, empowered to do what it takes to deliver excellence, and passionate about solving problems that help communities thrive and grow.”
A vital component of Dudek’s growth and stability, the ESOP was established in 2003 to provide a means by which the firm could effectively transfer its ownership internally. As the firm has grown and evolved, the ESOP has become a powerful tool in driving employee engagement by promoting an ownership culture, enhancing employee retirement planning, and bolstering employee retention. Additionally, the federal government strongly encourages employee-friendly programs, such as ESOPs, that provide an equitable means for profit sharing and wealth-building over time for all employees contributing to a company’s success.
