Our purpose is people

“Why is this so important? Because our work is about people,” says Tim Brown, president and CEO of DNA. “Our work doesn’t happen without people. Part of doing that is investing the time and energy into making DNA the best possible place to work so that we attract the best talent we can.” 

Based on the same survey, 92% of DNA employees agree we have overall great engagement, and 90% said we have a consistently positive employee experience. DNA scored higher than even the 2022 award-winning results with 98% of staff who responded they are proud to work for DNA and 97% feel their job provides them with a sense of meaning and purpose. 

Everyday impacts

Denise Gredler, founder and CEO of BestCompaniesAZ, not only congratulated our team and leadership for great feedback but emphasized how challenging it is to achieve ranks in the 90th percentile—some companies having participated for decades and never going beyond the range. Gredler shared how our work has also impacted her life personally.  

“My sister passed away and I didn’t know she was signed up as a donor,” Gredler says. “I have to say that [DNA’s] heart, compassion and how you handled that phone call for a family, that was still in shock, was first class.”
