Home > News > 2025 > Harris Celebrates Fourth Consecutive Top Workplace Win in Orange County

Harris & Associates is honored to be named a 2025 Top Workplace by the Orange County Register, marking the fourth straight year the firm has earned this regional recognition.

Unlike traditional industry awards, the Top Workplaces distinction is driven entirely by feedback from employees. The survey, administered by Pennsylvania-based firm Energage, measures a range of factors that influence workplace climate—from how well people feel supported in their roles to how effectively leaders communicate direction and purpose. Harris’ continued recognition reflects a culture where employee-owners feel empowered to contribute ideas, pursue new opportunities, and shape the future of the firm.

“What stands out year after year is the passion and purpose our employee-owners bring to Orange County projects,” said Michelle White, Chief Executive Officer. “Their commitment to each other, to our clients, and to our Shared Values makes Harris a place that inspires people to do their best work.”

Harris’ work across Orange County spans infrastructure improvements, environmental initiatives, and community-focused planning—efforts that rely on strong partnerships and a collaborative mindset. As we continue to expand our footprint throughout the region, we remain focused on fostering a workplace environment where people can lead with purpose.
