CMAG: Were there any specific programs or initiatives (internal or external) that contributed to you being a Best Firm to Work For?

To further our support for our people, we have established new development opportunities and identified new areas to continue to invest in their professional and personal growth. We have provided employees additional physical and mental health resources, increased flexible work arrangements, expanded our parental leave benefits, and increased no-cost EAP sessions. We have also hosted company-wide events and unconscious bias workshops that enabled open dialogue on culture, diversity, and inclusion, and our 10 employee resource groups continue to initiate meaningful conversations across Huron and provide our employees a sense of belonging and community.

We continue our collective commitment to investing in our people and our communities to build a more inclusive and equitable future. Our focus remains on fostering an inviting, equitable and inclusive work environment, advancing diverse representation across all levels of the organization, and expanding our community outreach and support.
