Dayton Business Journal’s Best Places to Work awards recognize outstanding employers in the Dayton, Ohio region based on confidential employee survey feedback. The program is administered by the Dayton Business Journal in partnership with Quantum Workplace, which provides the research-backed engagement survey and scoring. Companies pursue it for local employer-of-choice visibility, help with recruiting and retention, and comparative insight into employee engagement. Results are data-driven rather than purely editorial, lending additional credibility to the recognition.
