Through the survey and research process, Best Companies Group and its partner ModernThink LLC will be collecting, analyzing and evaluating company data and other sensitive information. Best Companies Group and ModernThink will keep all collected data and information confidential and will not release or otherwise sell or trade company information to another unauthorized third party other than those listed below.

Best Companies Group has engaged ModernThink to analyze the data and determine the list ranking. ModernThink will have access to the data and will use the collective set of information to contribute to their overall research of workplace excellence. Some information may be published or otherwise used by ModernThink to cite workplace excellence. Any such information used in a public forum will be positive in nature and will only reflect positively on the company.

Best Companies Group will only release information about companies who made the list to its local, authorized media partners for the sole purposes of publishing "Best Places to Work" or "Best Employers" lists. Information released will be limited to the data gathered by the employer survey (referred to during our process as the “IPI”). Employee survey scores and results will not be released without the advance permission of the company.

Information regarding the participation of a company in the current or prior years will not be released, unless it is already public information (prior lists).
