January 6, 2025 – St. Paul, Minn. – Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are proud to be named a 2024 Best and Brightest Company to Work For in the Nation, according to the National Association for Business Resources (NABR). Only about one out of every ten companies in the country are selected to be on this list, highlighting their success in employee engagement.
“The Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever team is honored to receive this award alongside so many wonderful companies and organizations,” said Sarah Mills, PF & QF’s vice president of human resources. “One of our team members said it best in the feedback from our engagement survey: ‘I truly enjoy the people we get to work with each day and the opportunity to make a positive impact on our habitat mission.’ I don’t think I could say it any better – this is a special place to work.”
The winning companies were assessed by an independent research firm, which reviewed several key measures relative to other nationally recognized winners. Examples of assessed categories include employee enrichment, recruitment and selection, and communication and shared vision.
With over 25 years of experience conducting the Best and Brightest competitions, the NABR has identified numerous best human resource practices and provided a benchmark for companies that continue to be leaders in employment standards.
“These companies have prioritized making a significant impact on their culture,” said Jennifer Kluge, President and CEO of NABR and the Best & Brightest Programs. “With a focus on their employees as the top priority, this powerful community of the nation's elite leaders have gained a competitive edge."
Best and Brightest winners will be featured in Corp! Magazine’s December 2024 All Best and Brightest Winner’s issue. Additionally, the Best and Brightest companies will be listed in The Wall Street Journal.
