Best Places to Work 2023
It's not too late to be considered for Baton Rouge Business Report's Best Places to Work designation. But don't delay: The deadline is Friday, May 5.
Best Places to Work is a free awards program that recognizes companies of workplace excellence that are known for their efforts to recruit and retain the best and brightest employees.
Independent firm Workforce Research Group determines the selection and ranking for Business Report’s Best Places to Work. Participants must meet the following criteria:
- Have at least 15 full- or part-time permanent employees working in Baton Rouge
- Have a physical operation in the Baton Rouge region, which comprises the following nine parishes: Ascension, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Iberville, Livingston, Pointe Coupee, Tangipahoa, West Baton Rouge and West Feliciana
- Are a publicly or privately held organization, or are a for-profit, not-for-profit, or a government organization
- Have been in business for at least one year, at the program registration deadline
Companies that choose to participate are assessed by Workforce Research Group on two factors: A questionnaire about company policies, practices, demographics and benefits, and a survey of randomly selected employees at each firm on nine key focus areas, including role satisfaction, work/life balance, leadership and training.
Business Report will recognize the 2023 Best Places to Work in a special issue in October. A celebration also will be held in their honor.
Best Places to Work in Baton Rouge is presented by Business Report, the Greater Baton Rouge Society for Human Resource Management and Workforce Research Group.

Business Report is making May 16 a unique day of celebration, learning and networking for women in Baton Rouge!
We’ll start the morning with the brand new Women’s Leadership Symposium, hearing from professional women sharing their stories and insights.
Our keynote speaker is Sevetri Wilson, a Capital Region native who is now one of the top-funded Black female founders in tech. Also a successful author, a Series B round for her company, Resilia, made her one of the few Black women in history to have raised $30 million in venture funding. Inc. magazine has named her one of the Top 100 female founders building world-changing companies.
Two Q&A panels will tackle top-of-mind life and work issues for women. "Right Place, Right Time?" will explore how women can align their personal values with their professional lives. Norisha Kirts Glover, Beverly Haydel, Dima Ghawi and Deborah Sternberg will join us for that conversation.
In "Rising Leadership: Fast Forward," Jodi Conachen, Patrice Aron, Julie Laperouse and Adrian Owen Jones will offer their journeys and insights into how to proactively navigate your way into management or the C-Suite.
