For the sixth consecutive year, Centric Consulting’s Chicago practice has earned a spot on Crain’s Chicago Business’s prestigious 100 Best Places to Work list.
Centric Consulting ranked ninth on the list, a 47-place jump from last year. “Breaking into the top 10 is a testament to the incredible team we’ve built in Chicago,” said Amy McJoynt, Chicago Practice lead. “Our people are the heart of everything we do. When you create an environment where talented professionals can grow, collaborate, and feel genuinely supported, like we have, exceptional client work naturally follows.”
The annual rankings, compiled through a partnership between Crain’s Chicago Business and Workforce Research Group, reflect the evaluation of companies based on comprehensive employee engagement surveys and detailed employer questionnaires. The independent research process helps ensure the rankings authentically reflect the employee experience across Chicago-area organizations.
“The list includes a mix of industries and company sizes, from fast-growing startups to well-established firms,” the article says. “What they all share is a commitment to fostering strong workplace cultures that attract and retain talent.”
“Centric also invested in programs that foster belonging and professional development,” McJoynt said. “Employee resource groups provide dedicated support for Black employees, women, and young professionals, and the Pride@centric group, creating a culture of diversity and appreciation that flows from the ground up rather than top-down.”
Centric’s Chicago practice continues to grow its presence in the region, serving clients across industries while building a reputation as an employer of choice.
