The Trade Group Named One of 2017’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in the Nation
DALLAS (PRWEB) January 18, 2018 -- For the second consecutive year, The Trade Group has been named one of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation. The winners were announced December 18, 2017, by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR).
According to Chris Stone, President and Founder of The Trade Group, “We are honored to be recognized as one of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For for the second year in a row. Creating a supportive and collaborative environment where our employees can thrive has been integral to our ongoing growth over the past three-plus decades.”
Stone’s sentiments echo those of NABR’s President and CEO Jennifer Kluge, who said, “National companies realize that their employees are key to business success. The companies that were selected demonstrated innovative human resource practices. They intentionally keep employee needs at the forefront of their policies. We are very impressed by the commitment that they have demonstrated to their employees.”
NABR founded the Best and Brightest competition more than 20 years ago. During that time, the organization has identified a number of human resources best practices, which it uses to evaluate companies that apply for recognition. These categories include:
• Compensation, Benefits, and Employee Solutions
• Employee Education and Development
• Recruitment, Selection, and Orientation
• Employee Achievement and Recognition
• Communication and Shared Vision
• Diversity and Inclusion
• Strategic Company Performance
To ensure that the selection of winners is pure and unbiased, NABR hired market research firm Inquisium to audit, design and score the selection process. Inquisium has no interaction with the administration of the event.
The Best and Brightest team compared the 2017 national winners’ statistical scores to the national average scores from 2016, which included all applicants from across the United States. In 2017, the Best and Brightest program recognized 437 companies out of 2,000 nominations. Winners are not ranked.
