COSTA MESA, Calif.,
Dec. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Recognizing Experian's commitment to putting consumers
first and its culture of collaboration, the Orange County
Register named the global information services company a Top
Workplace honoree at its recent gala ceremony. The award, based on
employee feedback in a survey of hundreds of leading companies in
Orange County, marks the fifth
time Experian has been honored with this recognition.
"We are honored to again be recognized as one of the top places
to work in Orange County. We do our best to provide a
workplace that gives our employees a sense of purpose,"
said Craig Boundy, chief executive officer, Experian North
America. "At the center of this purpose is a consumer-first
philosophy. Our employees know that we are opening doors of
opportunity for consumers and businesses."
Every day, Experian's data and analytics are helping consumers
and businesses achieve more. Experian employees work to help people
do important things to improve their lives and realize their
ambitions, such as buying a car or home, funding an education,
growing a business, or protecting their identity. This commitment
comes from Experian's diverse culture and the collective strength
of its employees, who are collaborating constantly to help Experian
create a better tomorrow for millions of consumers.
"We believe in a culture of collaboration that allows our
employees to constantly innovate," added Boundy. "For example, our
cross-functional teams are finding different ways to make access to
credit faster and simpler for millions around the world."
Experian is equally committed to giving back to the Orange County community. From volunteering with the
Jessie Rees Foundation which helps children deal with cancer and
the Blind Children's Learning Center to using company
donation-matching incentives, Experian employees continue to make a
difference in the community.
This year Experian also provided a $750,000 gift to create the Experian Assistant
Professorship in Machine Learning at Chapman
University. This investment is being used to expand machine
learning opportunities at the university's Machine Learning and
Assistive Technology Lab (MLAT), where Chapman researchers use big
data and technology to address challenges of social significance
like autism.
"How we work is as important as what we do," said Justin Hastings, chief human resources officer,
Experian North America. "Whether it's volunteering in the
community, celebrating our diversity or simply enjoying our time
together, Experian is a place where we draw on our collective
strength, and this truly makes us a top workplace."
