Slalom Consulting Thinks They Know . . .

Slalom knows what makes a great company to work for, and many people agree with them. In fact, over the past decade, Slalom has steadily accumulated awards for employee satisfaction, even as the company expanded to over 20 offices across the country and abroad. They have been honored with Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work award for  seven consecutive years (2009 to 2016). They have been named to Consulting Magazine's Best Firms to Work For list in 2014 and 2015. They also won the Puget Sound Business Journal's #1 Best Place to Work 2014 award. Slalom describes itself as an employee “feedback-driven company”. They use data from anonymous employer rating sites, such as Glassdoor, to monitor employee satisfaction.

Often, they circulate online comments among upper management to keep employees happy and productive. They know that being a great place to work will attract the best possible employees. Slalom feels their Sabbatical Program, annual 3-day retreats, and their Philanthropy Fellows Program are a big part of their winning corporate culture.

We think the shuffleboard tables might have something to do with it

As Slalom has expanded over the years, they have come to us for custom shuffleboard tables over and over again. Each new Slalom office gets a McClure shuffleboard table for its employee lounge, complete with its logo affixed directly to the playing board. We’ve done so many for them now that we just keep a stack of logos on hand for when they call. We know there’s more to employee satisfaction than a rocking break room, but we are still thrilled to be even a small part of such a consistently winning formula. After all, you're judged by the company you keep. Congratulations, Slalom, on yet another prestigious award. We know you deserve them all.
