Best Companies Group conducts a simple yet thorough company assessment designed to gather detailed information about a workplace. Employers will complete an in-depth questionnaire and employees will have the opportunity to offer their honest feedback by taking part in a company-wide survey. Both portions of the assessment must be complete in order to be considered for the “best” list.
