BCG Continues to be Named a Premier Employer and Ranks Near the Top of Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For" List for a Fifth Straight YearBOSTON, Feb. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), one of the world’s leading management consulting firms, has continued its extraordinary run near the top of Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For list. Ranking number four, BCG has made the top five for five years in a row and is one of only two companies to be included in the top dozen every year since it began participating in 2006. BCG’s focus on harnessing its collaborative culture, investing in learning and development, and offering career flexibility and global mobility are instrumental in attracting top talent. The firm’s world-class benefits and its partnership with global and local social impact organizations contribute to its strong performance on the Fortune list and burnish its reputation as a premier employer. In its profile of BCG, Fortune said: “Equality of opportunity is prized at this global consultancy, which has spent over $100 million on a program to make work schedules more predictable in a 24/7 industry. Work/life balance makes ‘employees happier, more complete humans.’ And even junior staffers feel valued: ‘I have access to leadership worldwide,’ says one.” The firm’s innovative work-life balance program, called PTO (which stands for predictability, teaming, and open communication), helps establish a detailed road map for each project, with transparent working norms and priorities (so low-value work doesn’t consume high-value personal and professional time) and a collectively agreed-on time-off goal for each team member. PTO provides a sustainable and predictable work path. At BCG, diversity of expertise, experience, and backround are fundamental to success. The firm takes a holistic approach across all people processes to create culturally adaptive teams and an inclusive workforce. BCG also maintains well-established and engaged employee resource networks and has launched a wide range of diversity and inclusion initiatives to connect people across the organization. Among these are local and network office affiliation activities, an inclusion dialogue series, mentorships, and career development programs. In addition, the firm’s LGBT-friendly benefits and practices have been recognized as world class, as have its programs for working parents. Great Place to Work, which provides the research underlying the Fortune rankings and conducts an extensive employee survey, noted in its review of BCG that:
Joe Davis, BCG’s chairman of North America, commented: “We continue to be honored by this recognition and are proud to have placed in the top five for five consecutive years and in the top ten for a decade. This recognition is a testament to our collective purpose—to unlock the potential of those who advance the world around us by driving inspired impact for our clients, leading with integrity, and growing our people.” This year’s 100 Best Companies list and related stories will appear in the March 1 issue of Fortune, which goes on sale on February 19.
