Participating in Best Places to Work provides your company AND YOUR TEAM BRAGGING RIGHTS AND A SENSE OF PRIDE.  You will also gain insights into how your organization is doing culturally and strategically. You can also see areas such as communication, alignment of mission, and more, that you can improve upon and develop a plan to improve.  There are two components of this survey. One is for the Leadership team to complete. The second survey is for the team members/employees to complete. The computer-generated results measure the gaps between the two groups. The higher the score, the more substantial the employee alignment is with that of leadership. We recognize those companies with high alignment scores. Your Chamber never sees who responded, although we encourage you to open this to all employees. Chamber membership is not required.
