Who's In Charge? Everyone

Schwab explained that many companies don’t operate like D&H because it's not publicly owned.

In fact, Schwab explained, because D&H is employee-owned, it isn’t beholden to quarterly reporting and can afford to make long-term investments that would be difficult to make if the company's stock were publicly traded. That enables D&H to make longer-term investments that don't necessarily deliver continuous profit, and allows the company to risk less when it invests in emerging technologies.

“We believe in family," Schwab added. "There are 118 different families that have two or more members that work here, and when you take really good care of the people under your roof, it pays off in your company's results."
