Harris & Associates has once again received recognition as a Top Workplace from The Bay Area News Group! Harris was one of only 83 companies that made this year’s list, which is compiled based solely on employee survey feedback gathered by research partner Energage, LLC, a leading provider of technology-based employee engagement tools.

“We are thankful for the continued recognition as a Top Workplace by our employee owners, especially after such a challenging year,” said Lisa Larrabee, CEO of Harris & Associates. “As our world changed so dramatically, we redoubled our commitment to do what’s best for the health and wellbeing of our team and clients. And we always pride ourselves in creating a culture of opportunity for everyone.”

The anonymous survey includes 24 base statements capturing responses across four workplace culture imperatives: alignment, connection, coaching, and performance. The survey also measures employee satisfaction with engagement, leadership, and basics such as compensation and flexibility.

"During this very challenging time, Top Workplaces has proven to be a beacon of light for organizations, as well as a sign of resiliency and strong business performance," said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. "When you give your employees a voice, you come together to navigate challenges and shape your path forward. Top Workplaces draw on real-time insights into what works best for their organization, so they can make informed decisions that have a positive impact on their people and their business."

Over the years, Harris has focused its attention on a shared set of Shared Values. These include develop and exhibit trust, work smarter, together, invest in our people, think and act inclusively, and model the Harris way. Across the entire enterprise, these shared values have resulted in a strong team where each person is deeply committed to making a difference in the communities where they live and work.
