Huron Consulting Group (NASDAQ: HURN), a leading provider of business consulting services, today announced that it has been named one of Forbes America’s Best Employers 2015.

“We are proud to be recognized as one of Forbes’ Best Employers in America,” said James H. Roth, chief executive officer and president, Huron Consulting Group. “Our talented people and unique culture provide the foundation for a collaborative workplace that focuses on delivering value to our clients while maintaining a positive work/life balance and an energized and engaged employee base. This award is purely the result of the talent of our people and their focus on creating a robust work environment that emphasizes professional development, client service, and community responsibility. To be recognized as one of the best employers in the nation is an honor that we are all proud of.”

The Forbes America’s Best Employers 2015 survey was conducted taking into consideration companies in all industry sectors in the U.S. employing more than 2,500 employees. Forbes worked with Statista.com to poll 20,000 U.S. employees asking them the names of organizations that they would recommend. The ranking took into consideration the attitude of employees towards their own company and public perception of a company by employees.

The Company’s ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility is facilitated through its Huron Helping Hands program and the diversity & inclusion council.
