Best Companies Group collected data from the competition entrants and performed employee surveys to determine which companies had the best practices, and participants will be ranked accordingly.
All 30 companies will receive the results of their survey, identifying their workplace strengths and weaknesses as compared to other participants. Categories studied include: Leadership and Planning, Corporate Culture and Communications, Role Satisfaction, Work Environment and Relationship with Supervisor.
“The companies making this year’s list display an incredible level of engagement among employees as well as a commitment to ensuring their time at work is as enjoyable as it is productive,” said Jeffri-Lynn Dyer,  okcBIZ associate publisher. “I would be willing to pit them against employers everywhere. No wonder they are among the Best Places to Work in Oklahoma for 2012!”
