Arkansas Business will honor more than 40 companies designated among this year’s “Best Places to Work” during an awards luncheon in September.
The event is at 11:30 a.m. Sept. 26 at the Embassy Suites in Little Rock. Tickets are available here. You can also contact Tiffany Mattzela at TMattzela@abpg.com or (501) 455-9334.
The annual event is tied to the “Best Places to Work” survey, which companies can use to determine employee perceptions of their organization and leadership.
The survey includes sections that examine leadership and planning; corporate culture and communication; employee relationships to supervisors; and pay and benefits. Employees complete the survey anonymously, and employers can analyze the results by specific topics and demographics, including age, sex, ethnicity, status, job role and department.
Employers pay a fee to take part in the survey, which is administered by the Best Companies Group.
“Best Companies Group compiles a detailed view of aggregated responses and a full transcript of employee comments to open-ended questions,” said Arkansas Business Publishing Group Publisher Mitch Bettis, who has used the survey since 2014. “Management can use the data to benchmark responses coming from other participating companies and, more importantly, to benchmark progress within your company year-to-year.”
Individual company scores are private information and available only to participants. For the awards program, Best Companies Group compiles the data to determine which Arkansas firm wins the top “Benchmark Award” for general workplace excellence. Last year’s winner was Information Network of Arkansas.
