There is stiff competition every year for Best and Brightest Program awards, and this year was no exception.
Dozens of companies were honored as the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Spring and Summer 2021 contest, and dozens more were honored in the National Best and Brightest in Wellness category.
The Nation’s Best and Brightest Companies and the Best and Brightest in Wellness winners were honored this week. Awards were announced during a virtual ceremony to help cap the 2021 Illuminate Business Talent Summit hosted by Corp! Magazine, the National Association for Business Resources and the Best and Brightest Programs.
“Throughout the year, the Nation’s Best and Brightest winners have demonstrated leadership and forward thinking as they continued pivoting their business and workforce through Covid-19,” said Jennifer Kluge, President and CEO, Best and Brightest Programs. “As the conversation and focus have shifted, our Best and Brightest winning companies have also been a voice for important actions regarding Well-being and Racial Justice. It is in these unique times that the Best and Brightest winners excel and share their knowledge with others.”
These national wellness winning companies were evaluated by an assessment created and administered by SynBella, the nation’s leading wellness systems firm. Company entries are examined statistically for quantitative and qualitative data.
Each survey was scored on a point system based upon criteria to benchmark and improve wellness program effectiveness. They include outcomes, analysis, tracking, participation & incentives, benefits and programs, leadership, employee input, culture and environment.
The Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation applicants were scored on include: Compensation, Benefits and Employee Solutions; Employee Enrichment, Engagement and Retention; Employee Education and Development; Recruitment, Selection and Orientation; Employee Achievement and Recognition; Communication and Shared Vision; Diversity and Inclusion; Work-Life Balance; Community Initiatives; and Strategic Company Performance.
With more than 20 years of experience conducting the Best and Brightest competitions, the National Association for Business Resources (NABR) has identified numerous best practices and provided benchmarking for companies that continue to be leaders in employment standards.
The Best and Brightest program celebrates those companies that are making their businesses flourish and the lives of their employees better. The Best and Brightest program provides year-long education, benchmarking, assessment tools and interaction amongst the best employers. Nominations are now being accepted for the 2021 programs.
