Harrisburg, PA – March 16, 2026 – Best Companies Group (BCG), a leading workplace research firm, has opened 

registration for the 2026 Best Places to Work in New Jersey program. The annual recognition highlights employers 

across the state that are creating outstanding workplace cultures and prioritizing employee engagement. New 

Jersey’s economy continues to evolve as employers navigate a competitive labor market and shifting economic 

conditions. Over the past year, the state added 9,000 nonfarm jobs, with strong growth in private education, health 

services, and professional business services, according to the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce 

Development. At the same time, employers across the state continue to face hiring pressures and rising 

expectations around compensation, flexibility, and workplace culture. In this environment, organizations that invest 

in employee engagement and workplace culture are better positioned to stand out. Programs like Best Places to 

Work in New Jersey help employers understand what employees value most and demonstrate their commitment to 

creating workplaces where people want to stay and grow.

Why New Jersey Employers Should Participate:

   employee surveys that reveal what employees truly think about their workplace.

• Competitor Benchmarking: Understand how your organization compares with other 

   employers across New Jersey.

   Work in New Jersey and stand alongside the state’s top employers.
