Make it nine years and counting for Huron as one of the Best Firms to Work For, an accomplishment that's not lost on CEO James H. Roth. "Being named a Best Firm to Work For nine years in a row highlights the hard work and dedication of the entire Huron team helping our clients own their future," Roth says. "Our success depends on our ability to attract, engage, develop and retain top talent."
Roth says Huron is differentiated among its competitors by its collaborative and values-driven culture, which enables an integrated approach to innovation while delivering solutions to clients.
"Developing a diverse and inclusive workforce allows us to bring forward unique perspectives to help clients address their most complex business challenges and seize new opportunities to thrive now and in the future," he says. "Huron remains focused on maintaining a collaborative work environment and fostering a culture that embraces diversity and inclusion, empowering each employee to shape their future and drive lasting change for our clients."
Huron continuously looks for opportunities to strengthen its culture and the employee experience, he says. For example, the firm recently transformed its employee experience from a one-size-fits-all approach to a more personalized journey that builds on the last interaction, from enhancing its onboarding experience to create deeper connections with those just joining Huron to increasing support for each employee's personal and professional development.
In addition, Huron has embarked on a new strategic transformation to create the next best version of the organization. "We realize our strategy must regularly evolve to anticipate our client needs and enable investments in areas that will help our clients address opportunities and challenges in their industries," Roth says. "We have built a solid foundation and are excited to continue our momentum in positioning the company for future growth."
To that end, Huron's commitment to helping clients navigate challenging environments to own their future is stronger than ever. "We remain focused on transforming our businesses by investing in our people and the breadth and depth of our expertise," he says. "This will enable us to more quickly address our clients' evolving needs, drive growth for the organization and increase value for our clients and shareholders."
On the survey, the firm excelled in the areas of Compensation & Benefits and Culture. "We take pride in our highly collaborative, values-driven culture that has enabled Huron to be the premier transformation partner to our clients," he says.
Meanwhile, "our benefits package is one of the best and is tailored to the unique needs of our employees, including flexible paid time off, recharge leave, a generous 401K match, a travel rewards program and resources that focus on overall wellness."
How would you describe morale at your firm?
Roth: Employee morale at Huron remains high. Our employees choose Huron for our commitment to our people, enabling them to grow in the organization and make an impact on our clients and the communities we serve. We remain committed to building on the momentum of our strategic transformation, further positioning Huron to drive growth and deliver innovative solutions to our clients. As we continue to evolve into a more integrated operating company, supporting our employees' career advancement and engaging employees with broad capabilities and deep industry expertise will be critical to our future success.
