Best Companies Group conducts a simple yet thorough
company assessment. The assessment is a two-part process designed to gather
detailed data about each participating company. In part one, the employer
completes a questionnaire and in part two, employees of the company complete
an employee survey.
The collected information from the two instruments will be combined to produce
a detailed set of data enabling the analysts to determine the strengths
and opportunities of the participating companies. The workplaces are ranked
based on this data and then the Employee
Feedback Reports are returned to each participating company (if purchased).
Part I – Employer
Benefits & Policies Questionnaire (click
for sample)
Each company must complete the Employer Benefits & Policies
Questionnaire (employer questionnaire also known as the EQ). The employer
questionnaire is where important information is captured about company policies,
practices and demographics. This portion of the assessment is sent out shortly
after the registration deadline and is due before the employee surveys (Part
II) are sent. Please refer to the Timeline for
more information.
The employer questionnaire is sent to the primary contact electronically
and is completed and submitted online to aid in the functionality and ease
of the surveying process.
Part II – Employee
Engagement & Satisfaction Survey (click
for Broker sample)
The Employee Engagement & Satisfaction
Survey (employee survey) consists of approximately 72 statements that
employees respond to on a five point agreement scale. The survey also includes
2 open-ended questions and 7 demographic questions.
The results are analyzed and categorized
according to 8 Core Focus Areas: Leadership and Planning, Corporate
Culture and Communications, Role Satisfaction, Work Environment, Relationship
with Supervisor, Training and Development, Pay and Benefits and Overall Engagement.

Survey Process
Online or Traditional Paper? Best Companies Group
conducts the majority of the employee surveys online. However, paper based surveys
are available to those companies whose employees do not have online capabilities.
A processing charge will be applied to registrations that require paper-based
surveys. For the online version, each employee will receive a unique Web-link
via email to complete the survey. Companies choosing the online version of the
survey will be asked to submit a list of employee email addresses via an upload
portal. Best Companies Group will perform the random selection for online
companies having over 250 employees.
Please see our Statement
of Confidentiality regarding the security of this sensitive data. All employee
data is submitted anonymously.
Number of employees being surveyed
Best Companies Group will survey up to 400 randomly
selected employees in a company depending on company size. The chart below lists
how many employees will be randomly selected to participate.
We encourage all companies to use the free online
survey process. However, if online surveys will not work for your company, we
offer a traditional paper based survey option. The chart below lists the fees for
the paper survey evaluation process.
