Three cool things:
- Diversity, equity and inclusion efforts include a mandatory annual training focusing on different topics, such as having an inclusive culture and unconscious bias; an employee-led DEI resource group; and a DEI lunch-and-learn series.
- Hosts an annual family event for its staff and their extended families; for the past three years, the firm has rented out Huntington Park, home of the Columbus Clippers, and had inflatables, food and drinks.
- Donates to the charity of the employee’s choice for milestone work anniversaries: $1,000 for five years, $2,500 for 10 years, $5,000 for 15 years and $10,000 for 20 years.
Employees say:
- “Diamond Hill is a company that truly cares about each individual who works for the firm. People are known by name. Co-workers show care and concern for one another, making the office a welcoming and enjoyable environment.”
- “It is a collaborative, team-oriented environment where everyone is working together in pursuit of a common goal. Management truly values the team members and treats them as such, not just in terms of compensation and benefits, but also in terms of transparency and communication.”
- “The culture and investment philosophy really differentiate the company. There are not many firms left with a true boutique feel that put client interests first, take care of employees, and focus on investment excellence.”
