The 2020 Best Firms to Work For

For 21 years, Consulting magazine has sought to recognize the profession's Best Firms to Work For, showcasing on our pages the tireless effort firms put into keeping their employees happy, engaged, and professionally fulfilled. Due to an overwhelming response, in 2009, we launched the Best Small Firms to Work For, spreading the recognition around to include firms of all sizes.

Normally we gather the winners together for an awards dinner and gala, but the pandemic has moved this year's celebration to a virtual event. The circumstances of this year's Best Firms to Work For awards may be different than usual, but the winners' achievements are no less worthy of recognition. For an organization to make it through a year like this is a testament to its commitment to clients, but also to its people.

This year has had no shortage of challenges, but in compiling this year's list of winners we were frequently inspired to read about the efforts firms have made to put worker health and safety first. Add to that challenge ensuring service continuity for clients, and even continued growth, and a picture starts to emerge of how this year's winners were chosen.
