CHICAGO — The Best and Brightest Companies To Work For® honored the newest 2023 winning companies in the Chicagoland area.
The program recognizes companies that distinguish themselves as having the most innovative business acumen and human resource practices.

The winning companies were assessed by an independent research firm, which reviewed several key measures relative to other nationally recognized winners.

With more than 25 years of experience conducting the Best and Brightest competitions, the National Association for Business Resources (NABR) has identified numerous best Human Resource practices and provided benchmarking for companies that continue to be leaders in employment standards.
“Those companies that made the list of Best and Brightest Companies To Work For, as well as those companies that continue to make the list, are truly remarkable,” said Jennifer Kluge, President and CEO of NABR and the Best and Brightest Programs. “Given today’s need for talent, retention of talent, and the further issues related to the pandemic, these companies have proven they are superior to market conditions.
