Huron Consulting Group (NASDAQ: HURN), a leading provider of business
consulting services, today announced that it has been named a Top
Workplace by The
Oregonian for the second consecutive year. The
recognition, awarded to companies in the Oregon and Southwest Washington
area, is based entirely on employee input gathered by the independent
research firm WorkplaceDynamics, LLP.
“Our employees’ talent, integrity and passion for excellence are
intrinsic to Huron’s success,” said James
H. Roth, president and chief executive officer, Huron Consulting
Group. “Being named a Top Workplace translates into a tremendous amount
of internal pride and is a powerful indicator that we are creating a
rewarding and productive work environment. This environment is
fundamental in supporting our employees, enabling them to provide the
highest quality work for our clients. We are honored by the continued
recognition as one of The
Oregonian’s Top Workplaces.”
With a worldwide workforce of more than 2,500 professionals, Huron is
known not only for its collaborative culture but also for its support of
diversity, inclusion, work/life balance and for having transparent
compensation and extensive employee benefits programs.
The Company has two locations
in the Portland, Ore. area—Beaverton and Lake Oswego—employing more than
300 people, focused on software and technology solutions as well as
creating and deploying large scale systems for healthcare organizations,
academic medical centers and higher education institutions. With rapid
growth in these arenas, Huron’s Portland offices continue to recruit for
positions in software engineering, analytics, data discovery, deployment
and support, as well as for experts in its business consulting services.
Huron makes investments in training, professional development, work/life
balance and employee wellness to support employees’ careers. The Company
provides employees with competitive and transparent compensation plans,
offering a 6% 401(k) Company match and an employee stock program that
provides a 25% Company match. In addition, Huron offers many other
benefits including employee wellness programs, flexible paid time-off
opportunities and work schedules, pet insurance, telemedicine, and
daycare and eldercare referrals.
The Company’s ongoing commitment to the community brings employees
together by helping others through its Huron
Helping Hands initiatives. Huron
Helping Hands provides support through civic sponsorship, community
service projects, pro bono activities, and an employee matching gifts
program. Portland area employees support several local community service
organizations including the Oregon Food Bank and the Ronald McDonald
House Charities of Oregon and Southwest Washington.
The Top Workplaces are determined based solely on employee feedback. The
employee survey is conducted by WorkplaceDynamics, LLP, a leading
research firm on organizational health and employee engagement.
WorkplaceDynamics conducts regional Top Workplaces programs with 40
major publishing partners across the United States. Over the past year,
more than 5,000 organizations and 1 in every 88 employees in the U.S.
