Strong Talent—But Legacy Structures Limit Scalability and Retention

Performance manager

Business Outlook

Pros

While the firm excels at attracting strong talent, the ongoing challenge remains in retention—specifically keeping employees beyond the three-year mark. This gap reinforces the importance of strengthening development pathways, ensuring consistent leadership practices, and improving the long-term employee experience.

Cons

From an HR perspective, several structural challenges limit consistency, effectiveness, and long-term retention at Huron. Because the business units hold most decision-making authority, it is difficult to fully centralize processes or enforce enterprise-wide standards. This leads to variability in how teams apply policies, manage performance, and develop talent. As a result, the employee experience can differ significantly across practices. The company relies too much on relationships and alliances instead of talent and capability. Who you know often matters more than what you can do, which can feel like favoritism. This makes it hard for strong performers to grow unless they’re connected to the right people.
