With the #MeToo movement and conversation around anti-harassment continuing, the top 20 U.S. accounting firm Dixon Hughes Goodman and its leaders are also addressing the important topic both internally and externally. Through a company-wide live broadcast panel discussion, team meetings, in-person discussion and a post on the CEO Blog, leaders are sharing insight on respect and equality in the workplace, navigating biases and the importance of speaking out on the topic of harassment.
Broadcast live from DHG’s Charlotte, NC headquarters on March 16th, the 30-minute live discussion featured commentary from four DHG leaders on harassment and DHG’s own culture of respect. Titled “#MeToo – Leadership Perspectives on the Current Movement and DHG’s Culture of Respect,” the panel shared many key points while also opening the door for follow up conversation among DHG employees and partners across all DHG locations.
“Anti-harassment is an incredibly relevant and important topic that we felt strongly about addressing with our people while sharing a clear picture of our own culture of respect,” said Effin Logue, Chief People Officer. “The leaders participating in the discussion spoke from personal experience and offered terrific perspective for our people to use in their own careers and personal lives.”
“The broadcast allowed our team members to come together as a group to watch and share our own thoughts and experiences around harassment,” said Daniel Sanders, Partner. “We were able to take what we had just heard from our leaders and transition to a follow up discussion that led to great conversation and many ideas about how to practically apply what we just heard about harassment in the workplace.”
In addition to the March panel discussion, CEO Matt Snow recently released the latest installment of his CEO Blog, titled “#MeToo – Fostering a Culture of Respect.” In the post, Matt shares key takeaways from the broadcast while touching on DHG’s intent to ensure that all team members have what they need to progress and build valuable careers.
