Best Places to Work in the Valley is a local contest designed to identify the best places of employment in the metro-Phoenix area based 100% on employee opinion survey results. The program was founded in 2003 by BestCompaniesAZ, The Great Place to Work Institute (research partner for Fortune Magazine 100 Best Companies to Work for in America and HR Magazine), and our local Media Partner, The Phoenix Business Journal. In 2004 we transitioned over to research partner, Quantum Market Research, the exclusive research partner for Best Places to Work competitions in 40 US cities. As a result, participants have access to the country's largest database of comparative benchmarking. 

To identify the best places of employment in the Metro-Phoenix area (Maricopa and Pinal counties) for the benefit of the local economy, business and workforce.

Our primary focus:
To create and publish a highly credible list valued by employees and management.
To foster a competitive spirit among valley businesses for improving workplaces in Metro-Phoenix.
To obtain information about Metro-Phoenix's businesses to help raise workplace standards throughout the valley by benchmarking workplace performance now and into the future.
To help the valley attract and retain a talented workforce.
