The Best Places to Work distinction was designed to identify and honor the best employers in Arkansas, benefiting the state's economy, workforce and businesses. Companies from across the state were considered through a two-part process. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics, while the second consisted of an anonymous internal survey to measure the employee experience. \n\n\"Making the best places to work list for the second straight year is a huge honor for BSR,\" said CEO John Bailey. \"When you combine this with our recent IPO, it has been a remarkable year so far in the history of our company.
