Consulting Magazine named Centric Consulting in the Top 10 “Best Firms to Work For.”
Consulting Magazine recognized Centric Consulting as one of the nation’s “Best Firms to Work For” in 2024, ranking it 10th in the large firm category. This marks the seventh time Centric has ranked in the top 10, underscoring the company’s commitment to fostering an exceptional workplace culture.
Each year, Consulting Magazine identifies the best firms to work for in the consulting profession. The magazine bases the rankings on responses to survey questions a firm’s own consultants answers. They then measure scores against all qualifying firms, ranking companies based on employee satisfaction in culture, career development, client engagement, compensation and benefits, and firm leadership. The survey indicated Centric ranked high in client engagement and several other areas, including work-life balance, culture, leadership, and career development.
Jen Barnes, Vice President of Culture, Employee Engagement, and DEI at Centric, attributes this recognition to “Three Cs of Centric:” culture, core purpose, and core values. “Since our founding, we have consistently upheld our commitment to fostering an exceptional workplace culture that celebrates the individual, encourages a collaborative spirit, and enables the forging of lifelong friendships,” she said.
Centric’s core purpose, “To create unmatched experiences for our clients and our employees,” is reflected in various initiatives that contribute to the company’s standing as a top workplace. One unique and powerful initiative is Centric Together, the company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion imperative launched in 2020. This program has fostered the growth of employee resource groups (ERGs) that promote awareness, understanding and support for diverse communities within the organization.
“At Centric, we realize that a sense of belonging is a fundamental human need, making it one of the most important aspects of the employee experience. We place great value in creating an environment where everyone both feels and knows that they belong,” Barnes said.
Centric has seen significant growth over the past few years. Looking ahead, Centric is focusing on transforming various aspects of its operations to better serve its growing and diverse workforce.
Centric also recognizes the significant opportunities AI presents across industries. “AI has become a dominant area of opportunity for almost every aspect of business, and it is likely to transform every industry,” Barnes noted. “Given the talent of our teams, our commitment to innovation, and the partnerships we enjoy with others in the tech space, Centric is well-positioned to bring the power of AI to our clients… and to our employees,” Barnes said.
This latest recognition from Consulting Magazine reaffirms Centric’s dedication to maintaining a workplace that values its employees and fosters their growth. “The true reward is not the accolades themselves but seeing the profoundly positive impact our culture has had on the lives of both team members and clients,” Barnes concluded. “This honor simply confirms what those within Centric have always known to be true.”
