Huron Consulting Group (NASDAQ: HURN), a leading provider of business consulting services, today announced that it has been selected as one of the Chicago Tribune’s Top Workplaces for the second consecutive year. The recognition, awarded to companies in the Chicago area, is based entirely on employee input gathered by the independent research firm WorkplaceDynamics, LLP.

“We are proud to be recognized as one of the Chicago Tribune’s Top Workplaces for the second consecutive year,” said James H. Roth, chief executive officer and president, Huron Consulting Group. “This award is a clear reflection of the talent of our people and the extent to which they collaborate in order to provide a high level of value to our clients. Our efforts at recognizing the importance of achieving a positive work/life balance and the establishment of a strong internal culture provide the cornerstone for maintaining an energetic and creative workplace environment. Huron’s success in the marketplace is a direct result of a satisfied and engaged workforce. I want to thank and congratulate all of our employees for helping Huron achieve this important recognition.”

In addition, the Company offers many other benefits including employee wellness programs, training and professional development, flexible paid time-off opportunities and work schedules, pet insurance, telemedicine, and daycare and eldercare referrals.
