Evaluation

Great organizations create cultures where team members are inspired and have the opportunity to contribute their talents towards the overall vision of the organization. During the selection process, the Best and Brightest team works with nominees to identify their strengths and opportunities through an in-depth evaluation.

Participants’ practices are bench-marked against other participants in their region and across the nation. This multifaceted approach creates a rich assessment that provides opportunities for analysis reports, competitive comparison and educational opportunities leading towards tangible and direct ROI.

We use being one of the Best & Brightest from the minute people enter our offices. It sets the expectation that we want world-class employees to be a part of our organization.

Andy GutmanCFO, The Farbman Group

Being a Best & Brightest winner has really increased our perspective to look outward rather than inward. During the assessment process, we received a benchmark to measure ourselves against.
