2024 Certified Best Place to Work in New Jersey
How do you determine New Jersey’s Best Places to Work?
You ask the employees, of course.
The 2024 honorees across small (15 – 49 employees), medium (50 – 249 employees) and large (more than 250 employees) employers are based upon the results of a survey conducted by BridgeTower Media’s Best Companies Group.
The program confidentially collects data, allowing workers to share feedback about their employers, and for those companies to learn from and act on that knowledge.
To be eligible for consideration, organizations must meet several criteria, including having a facility in New Jersey.
NJII has earned the rank of New Jersey’s Best Places to Work for 2024, for a Medium-sized company
