“We are so proud that DDI is again recognized nationally as a great place to work,” Bill Byham, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of DDI said. “While DDI has helped other organizations build workplaces that cultivate trust, build cooperation, inspire creativity and help employees to be their best, it has always been a priority to live and practice those same values for our employees around the world.”
