Best Places Selection Process

The Best Places to Work is a project identifying employers who have proven that they know what it takes to create an environment where people love to come to work. Identifying and recognizing these employers is a joint effort of the San Fernando Valley Business Journal and Best Companies Group. The Best Places to Work program was open to all publicly or privately held organizations or municipalities, either for-profit or not-for-profit. To be eligible for consideration, companies must have at least 15 employees working in the greater San Fernando Valley and have a strong commitment to workplace excellence. The Best Places to Work survey process was managed by Best Companies Group (BCG). BCG, an independent workplace excellence research firm, managed the registration process, conducted the surveys, evaluated the data and ultimately chose the companies that were good enough to make the list. Part one of the assessment (three-quarters of each company’s score) involved a confidential 61 question Employee Engagement & Satisfaction Survey (EESS) which was used to evaluate the employees’ workplace experience and company culture. Part two of the assessment (one-quarter of each company’s score) consisted of The BCG Employer Questionnaire (EQ), used to collect information about each company’s benefits, policies, practices and other general information. The two combined sets of data allowed the experts at BCG to conduct an in-depth analysis of the strengths and opportunities that exist in each company. BCG’s workplace assessment experts determined who was good enough to make the list and they were compared to one another and ranked in different size categories. Each participating company received the BCG Participation Report that included very basic information about each company’s survey results. While the survey process and evaluation was free, many participating companies opted to purchase the full BCG Employee Feedback Report which includes a more comprehensive summary of the employee feedback. The report also included the employee written comments and the benchmarking data from the companies that made the list. The Feedback Report will help each company understand their workforce better and equip them with the information to make their workplace even better. The companies presented on the following pages are innovators and the ones other companies use as benchmarks. As you read their profiles, you’ll see the often unique ways in which these companies are able to help their employees, and their businesses and their communities.
