At CTL, we understand that our greatest asset is our people. Their talent, dedication, and passion drive our success, and we are dedicated to providing them with a fulfilling and rewarding work experience. As a result, CTL was named to the national list of “Best & Brightest Companies to Work For” for the second consecutive year. Earlier this year, we were named to the same list for the Pacific Northwest.

“Once again, we are honored to make the national list of Best & Brightest companies in 2023,” noted CTL CEO Erik Stromquist. “We appreciate the efforts of our employees to make CTL a great place to work and for their contributions to ensure the success of our company through excellent customer service, teamwork, ingenuity, initiative, and innovation.”

“Only companies that distinguish themselves as having the most innovative business acumen and human resource practices can be bestowed this honor,” notes the National Association for Business Resources (NABR), the organization that awards “The Best & Brightest Companies to Work For®.” 

The winning companies were assessed by an independent research firm, which reviewed several key measures relative to other nationally recognized winners. The categories applicants were scored on include Compensation, Benefits and Employee Solutions; Creative Wellness and Wellbeing Solutions, Employee Enrichment, Engagement and Retention; Employee Education and Development; Recruitment and Selection; Employee Achievement and Recognition; Communication and Shared Vision; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; Work-Life Blend; Community Initiatives and Corporate Responsibility; and Leadership, Strategy and Company Performance.

With over 25 years of experience conducting the Best and Brightest competitions, the National Association for Business Resources has identified numerous best Human Resource practices and provided benchmarking for companies that continue to be leaders in employment standards.

“Those companies that made the list of Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® as well as those companies that continue to make the list are truly  remarkable. Given today’s need for talent, retention of talent, and the further issues related to the pandemic, these companies have proven they are superior to market conditions. They are elite thinkers, and this honor demonstrates their commitment to excellence,” said Jennifer Kluge, President and CEO of NABR and The Best and Brightest Program.

All 2023 companies that will be selected to be recognized nationally as a Best and Brightest Company to Work For® will be featured in the online edition of Corp! Magazine and in the Wall Street Journal.
