Harris & Associates has been named one of USA Today’s Top Workplaces USA for 2024. This prestigious national recognition reflects Harris’ commitment to investing in its employee-owners and creating an inclusive, people-first culture.

“Harris empowers all of our employee-owners to live our Purpose and Shared Values, and we collectively nurture a supportive and empowering workplace,” says Michelle White, CEO of Harris. “This honor highlights what we do best: work smarter together to build equitable, resilient, and sustainable communities—starting with our own.”

For years, Harris has been recognized as a Top Workplace at the regional level, receiving awards in Orange County, San Diego, and the San Francisco Bay Area. We have earned this designation based on anonymous employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey conducted by Energage. At the national level, Harris outperforms in key categories measuring organizational alignment, professional growth, and employee empowerment. These results stem from how we prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion; foster career development; enhance employee health and wellbeing; and cultivate a thriving community rooted in trust and belonging.

"At Harris, we actively seek diverse perspectives to develop innovative solutions for our clients,” adds White. "By harnessing our collective strengths, we deliver positive results for the communities we serve and enriching experiences for our employee-owners. I’m grateful to lead this purpose-driven team.”
