Home > News > 2025 > Harris & Associates Celebrates Six Years as a Bay Area Top Workplace

Harris & Associates is proud to announce its sixth consecutive recognition as a Bay Area Top Workplace. This ongoing achievement reflects the strength of our culture and our employee-owners’ dedication to cultivating an environment rooted in inclusion and shared success.

Based entirely on anonymous employee feedback, this distinction highlights key aspects of our workplace, including engagement, leadership, and alignment with our Shared Values. Harris continues to be recognized across California and nationally as a Top Workplace. Such honors reinforce our reputation as a people-first organization that lives our Purpose: to build equitable, resilient, and sustainable communities.

“Our people are the heart of Harris, and this award belongs to them,” said Michelle White, CEO of Harris & Associates. “Year after year, our employee-owners show up with purpose and a spirit of service—for one another, for our clients, and for our communities. Their perspectives and contributions make Harris a Top Workplace.”

Harris actively champions equity and inclusion across every level of the organization. We believe that when people feel valued, heard, and empowered, they are more engaged and inspired in their work. Through our Employee Community Networks (ECNs)—created by women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ employees and open to all—we cultivate belonging, encourage open dialogue, and provide meaningful support. This contributes directly to the positive employee experiences that have earned Harris multiple Top Workplace awards.

“Our Shared Values guide everything we do,” White continued. “When we invest in our people by listening to them, elevating their voices, and providing abundant growth opportunities, we strengthen both Harris and the communities we serve.”
