April Husted Discusses OneDigital's Agility and Authenticity in the Workplace

For many businesses, creating a supportive and dynamic work environment is a continuous journey.

OneDigital has been recognized as one of Georgia's Best Places to Work, and April Husted, Senior Managing Principal of OneDigital Georgia, shares her insights on how the company creates a culture where employees can be their authentic selves amidst rapid growth.

In a recent article by Georgia Trend, "Putting People First: Georgia’s Best Places to Work," Husted highlights the importance of agility and authenticity in fostering a positive workplace culture. Husted, who joined OneDigital through an acquisition in 2019, discusses OneDigital's impressive market growth, noting that the company's expansion has been driven by its people-first approach. This growth includes acquisitions, strategic partnerships and new talent, allowing OneDigital to enhance its service offerings and deliver exceptional benefits, financial and HR solutions to a broader client base.

We’re 25 this year, and that gives us the opportunity to be the newer, less stodgy and bureaucratic and siloed version of what we do, which is very liberating. OneDigital’s ability to flex and accommodate and morph with the times and the outside business pressures created a unique environment.

She emphasizes that OneDigital's success is deeply rooted in its ability to adapt and maintain genuine interactions with employees. Husted indicates such engagement makes OneDigital shine. She says when employees feel heard across various generations, life stages, demographics, and abilities is “when we’re at our best.”

Key to the company’s culture is a recognition of each individual’s strengths, challenges, and specific situations. Thus, employee resource groups have flourished, giving employees a forum to engage with people facing similar opportunities and challenges. This approach ensures that employees feel heard and supported across various generations, life stages, demographics, and abilities.
