Why is this headline important? Because, Google’s HR Chief Laszlo Bock tells Forbes (cite),

There’s intense global competition for the best, most creative minds who are able to create the biggest, most important things, and that’s going to continue accelerating. That’s why it becomes even more important to create a kind of workplace where people want to be.

 

Of the recognition, Huron’s CEO and President James Roth focused on company culture and Huron’s talented employees, stating (cite),

“Our talented people and unique culture provide the foundation for a collaborative workplace that focuses on delivering value to our clients while maintaining a positive work/life balance and an energized and engaged employee base. This award is purely the result of the talent of our people and their focus on creating a robust work environment that emphasizes professional development, client service, and community responsibility. To be recognized as one of the best employers in the nation is an honor that we are all proud of.”

In education, we have a lot to learn from these leaders and their award-winning companies. Their messages and actions translate to education: Education leaders must have a great desire to move from good to great; Education leaders must see value in continuous systems improvement; and Education leaders must engage employees to build and sustain a culture of high performance.
