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.”
Huron 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, 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.
Headquartered in Chicago, Huron has a worldwide workforce of
more than 2,500 professionals. The Company is known for its
high-quality client service, collaborative culture, and support of
diversity and community programs.
Huron’s Diversity & Inclusion Council leads efforts to

employee resource groups, called iMatter Teams, which represent:
Working Parents; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Allies
(LGBTA); African Americans; Veterans; Working Women; Experienced
Hires; and Cultural Awareness and Education.
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. Chicago area employees
support several local community service organizations including the
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, Chicago
Public Schools, Ronald McDonald House of Greater Chicago, and Boys
& Girls Clubs of Chicago.

feedback. The employee survey is conducted by WorkplaceDynamics,

engagement. WorkplaceDynamics conducts regional Top Workplaces
