100 Percent Employee Owned

At TKDA, we’re proud to be a 100 percent employee-owned company, which means that from the front desk to the executive suite, every team member plays a critical role as an owner. This unique culture unites us nationwide with a common purpose: we all share in the rewards of our collective success. 

As an employee owner, you’ll benefit from our annual Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) distribution, compensation for all hours worked, and a robust retirement plan. In this inclusive environment, everyone has the freedom to share their insights, expertise, questions, and opinions, shaping the decisions that guide our work and overall success. When you interact with someone at TKDA, you’re interacting with an owner.

TKDA is a proud ESOP member, believing that the power of employee ownership attracts and retains the best talent, provides long-term wealth building and supports a culture of involved employees vested in delivering their best work.
