Counselor is once again setting out to identify the industry companies that employees simply love to work for with our 2026 Best Places to Work list. These are the firms that have loyal workforces and provide top-notch cultures and office environments. Getting involved is easy – and it’s free to participate. To qualify, a company must be an ASI-listed distributor or supplier in good standing with at least 10 employees. To be considered, you will need to send an email to your employees with the link for them to fill out the survey. We ask that you instruct your employees to include your ASI number on the survey. Here is the link to the employee survey: Counselor Best Places to Work 2026 Survey.

Methodology: Each company principal is sent a link that they then forward to their company’s employees for participation. All responses to the survey are anonymous and are automatically received by ASI. A minimum level of participation is required from employees for consideration of inclusion in the Best Places to Work ranking. All questions are on a five-point scale where 5 is most positive and 1 is most negative.

Any questions, please email Managing Editor Joan Chaykin: jchaykin@asicentral.com.
