Cincinnati Best Places to Work

Overview

Cincinnati Business Courier’s “Best Places to Work” awards recognize organizations in the Greater Cincinnati region that achieve outstanding employee engagement, satisfaction, and workplace culture. The program is operated by the Courier in partnership with a third‑party survey firm that conducts confidential employee surveys and scores the results. Companies pursue it for local employer‑of‑choice branding, talent attraction, and visibility in the Courier’s special coverage and awards event. It is an editorial, data‑driven recognition based primarily on employee feedback rather than pay‑to‑play advertising.

Eligibility Requirements

• Must have a minimum number of local employees (typically around 10 or more) to support an anonymous employee engagement survey
• Must agree to allow an independent survey provider to conduct a confidential employee survey by the program’s survey deadline
