The South Florida Business Journal is the business and community voice of the South Florida region.  From education to transportation and affordable housing to the overall economy, The Business Journal covers key topics of concern for the region, ensuring that its readers are aware of the issues affecting their community.  Unlike many other award programs, the "Best Places to Work" awards are self-driven by company employees who answer a 40 question survey regarding their business establishment.  The questions are based on a six-point Likert Scale, with answers ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree.  Over a four-month period, Quantum Market Research reviewed the surveys and devised a score for each nominee, ultimately selecting winners in the small, medium and large business categories.
