Home > News > 2024 > Five Years of Excellence Harris & Associates Honored as a 2024 Bay Area Top Workplace

Harris & Associates is thrilled to announce its recognition as one of the Bay Area's Top Workplaces for 2024 by the San Francisco Chronicle. This marks the fifth consecutive year Harris has received this esteemed award, underscoring our ongoing commitment to cultivating a workplace that prioritizes employee satisfaction, diversity, and engagement.

In addition to our Bay Area accolade, Harris has consistently been recognized as a Top Workplace in Orange County, San Diego, and on the national stage. This prestigious recognition is driven by anonymous feedback from our employee-owners, who evaluated key aspects of our workplace culture, including leadership, inclusivity, and overall engagement. Our strong performance in these areas reflects our strategic focus on attracting and retaining top talent, which in turn drives our organizational success and enhances our service delivery.

“Our employee-owners have earned Harris this honor stemming from their individual employee experiences,” said Michelle White, CEO of Harris & Associates. “Their engagement and satisfaction drive our success. Knowing that our employees feel positive about working at Harris, flourishing in an environment of support and inclusion, reaffirms all that we do to foster a culture that’s rooted in Harris’ Shared Values.”

This award highlights Harris’ continued efforts to build equitable, resilient, and sustainable communities through a diverse and inclusive workforce. Today, 51% of Harris’ employee-owners and 44% of its managers and senior leaders are people of color. Women make up 45% of our workforce and hold 43% of leadership roles.

“Our leaders actively invest in our people so that every Harris team member has equal access to opportunities and resources they need to thrive,” White added. “Harris’ commitment to equity and inclusion not only enriches our workplace; it also enhances the quality of the solutions we deliver for our clients and communities.”

“I am very grateful and proud to serve as Harris’ CEO.”
