consulting services, today announced that it has been named one of the
Best Firms to Work For in 2013 by Consulting magazine.
“Huron’s selection as one of Consulting’s 2013 Best Firms to Work
For shows that we are doing the right things to help our clients and our
employees succeed, and attests to the shared values of the management
team and everyone at Huron,” said James
H. Roth, chief executive officer and president, Huron

best people, which is why our top priority has always been to recruit
and retain exceptionally talented individuals who will provide superior
value to our clients.”
Huron was recognized for its excellence in several areas, most notably:
-
Work/Life Balance. Huron’s commitment to work/life balance is
reflected by its corporate culture. The Company provides many benefits
for its employees in this area, including flexible Paid Time Off
(PTO), a wellness reimbursement account, travel benefits, pet
insurance and an adoption assistance program, as well as an Employee
Assistance Program (EAP), which offers confidential counseling and
referral services and assistance with various work/life needs such as
childcare placement, college searches, elder care and more. Huron
works hard to ensure that employees have the tools and support they
need to manage the challenges of daily life.
-
Compensation and Benefits. In addition to its competitive and
transparent compensation plans, Huron offers its employees income
opportunities that include cash incentives for meeting performance
goals, a dollar-for-dollar 401(k) Company matching contribution up to
6% of their earnings, and a stock ownership participation program that
allows them to purchase Huron stock with a 25% Company match. The
Company also provides excellent health and welfare benefits, Health
Care & Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), a Health
Savings Account (HSA) and a transportation program that allows
employees to use pre-tax dollars for eligible commuter costs.
“It’s a tremendous honor to be recognized as one of the Best Firms to
Work For by Consulting magazine for the third consecutive year,
and we are pleased that the quality of our people and the value we
deliver remain well-recognized in the marketplace,” said C.
Mark Hussey, chief financial officer, Huron

opportunities for Huron in 2014 across our businesses and are confident
that the pace of change and demand for our services within our core
markets will continue to drive future growth.”
