What is the Best and Brightest? 

The Best and Brightest strive to recognize the most influential, trend-setting companies across the country and regionally in focused programs. The program, “recognizes companies that deliver exceptional human resource practices and an impressive commitment to their employees. The program is presented throughout the United States by the National Association for Business Resources.”

The nominated companies are evaluated and measured based on: the community of peers, recognition & validation as an employer of choice, employee & employer benchmarking data, tools, education, resources & webinars. Within these evaluations, they are evaluating the communication, training opportunities, employee satisfaction, diversity, and everything that makes a workplace a good place to work.

Through the Best and Brightest website, people can nominate companies that they feel embody what the program stands for. The goal of the program is to recognize companies or organizations that go above and beyond in creating a space for their employees and in their community that exemplifies best practices and employee commitment. 

By winning, companies are able to get valuable insights on industry best practices that they can then incorporate into their own workplace. The businesses also get reports and assessments to help them understand underlying themes to help benchmark and increase growth. This helps aid in employee and cultural developments.
