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

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.

feedback. The employee survey is conducted by WorkplaceDynamics,

engagement. WorkplaceDynamics conducts regional Top Workplaces
