The Best and Brightest

Celebrating What is Right in Our Workplaces

Determination, exceptional leadership, and daily ingenuity are three of the key components to any successful organization. Your clients and team members depend on you to create an environment in which challenges form opportunities, words become commitments, and work is not a four-letter word. The Best and Brightest programs identify, recognize, and celebrate the organizations that epitomize Better Business. Richer Lives. Stronger Communities.

Companies and organizations across the nation are encouraged to participate in the programs. Each program’s education, evaluation, and execution are designed and catered specifically to it’s participants. Furthermore, yearly participation in the programs exponentially increases its return on investment through advanced profiling reports, continued education, and essential tools.

“The Best and Brightest program was the springboard from which we began our transformation from a client centered company to an employee centric culture. We have found the benefits to be wide spread and immeasurable. I liken the process we undergo in our application each year to that of an annual, corporate physical. We get a complete picture, via empirical data, as to the relative health of our organization.

Today, as a result of B&B, we have a virtual waiting room of employees ready to leave our competitors and join the company we have become. This is only possible because we now truly know how our people feel and are able to act upon that information in a never ending workplace improvement process.”
