National Association for Business Resources (NABR) has acknowledged BizStream as one of West Michigan’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For. This marks the sixth consecutive year BizStream has received this honor.
Every year, companies throughout the greater West Michigan region compete to be named one of “West Michigan’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For®.” Only companies that distinguish themselves as having the most innovative and thoughtful human resources approach can be bestowed this honor.
BizStream has proven once again that our core values shine through and doubly overcome even the toughest of challenges. During this global pandemic, BizStream was quick to institute unique ways to keep our team members engaged through social interaction in a digital space as well as combat the ongoing effects that spatial isolation can have on a person’s morale. Mental health days were common practice and often times even encouraged.
An independent research firm evaluates each company’s entry, based on various categories. These include Compensation, Benefits and Employee Solutions; Employee Enrichment, Engagement, and Retention; Employee Education and Development; Recruitment, Selection, and Orientation; Employee Achievement and Recognition; Communication and Shared Vision; Diversity and Inclusion; Work-Life Balance; Community Initiatives and Strategic Company Performance. With over 20 years of experience conducting the Best and Brightest competitions, the National Association for Business Resources (NABR) has identified numerous best Human Resource practices and provided benchmarking for companies that continue to be leaders in employment standards.
Throughout the year, the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® have demonstrated leadership and forward-thinking as they pivoted their business and workforce through Covid-19. As the conversation and focus has shifted, our Best and Brightest winning companies have also been a voice for important actions regarding race relations and employee wellbeing. In these unique times, the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® excel and share their knowledge with others.
These select companies will be honored on Tuesday, July 20, 2021, on a virtual platform, and the winning companies also compete for 13 elite awards, one granted for each category.
