Dechert Named One of the 2021 Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services

Great Place to Work® has honored Dechert as one of the 2021 Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services™. This is the firm’s second time being named to this prestigious list.

The Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services award is based on analysis of survey responses from more than 463,000 current employees across the U.S. In that survey, 93 percent of Dechert’s people said the firm is a great place to work. This number is 34 points higher than the average U.S. company. 

Survey respondents answered more than 60 survey questions describing the extent to which their organization creates a Great Place to Work For All™. Eighty-five percent of the evaluation is based on what they say about their experiences of trust and reaching their full human potential as part of their organization, no matter who they are or what they do. Great Place to Work analyzes these experiences relative to each organization’s size, workforce make up, and what’s typical relative to their peers. The remaining 15 percent of the rank is based on an assessment of innovation, the company’s values, and the effectiveness of their leaders, among other factors.

“Our extraordinary people make working at Dechert a special experience every day,” said Alison Bernard, Dechert’s chief talent and human resources officer. “To be recognized by our own people in this way is a great honor, and we’re very happy to be able to share it with the whole Dechert community.”

Great Place to Work is the only company culture award in America that selects winners based on how fairly employees are treated. Companies are assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is. 

“These companies are proof that strong company culture is not restricted to the physical workplace,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, VP global recognition, Great Place to Work®. “Despite the challenges of the pandemic and remote work, employees at these companies say they feel supported by their leaders, connected to their colleagues and that managers bring out the best in everyone.”

Last year, Dechert was ranked in Great Place to Work's Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services™ 2020 (Large); in Fortune Best Workplaces in New York™ 2020 (Large); and in Great Place to Work's Best Workplaces for Parents™ 2020.
