Do you look forward to going to work? Truly enjoy your job? Admire your employer and your co-workers?
If you have a great workplace, here is your chance to shout about it. Earn recognition as one of Baltimore’s Top Workplaces by Baltimore Sun Media.
The Baltimore Sun is seeking nominations to honor the region’s quality workplace cultures in the 14th edition of its annual Top Workplaces list.
Last year, 155 companies were recognized as Top Workplaces in the Baltimore region, encompassing the city and Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Harford and Howard counties. The honorees were chosen based on surveys of their employees by our partner, Energage, which has conducted Top Workplace surveys for dozens of news organizations across the country. The surveys are used to rank the top companies, and winners will be announced at an event and featured in a special magazine in early December.
Being designated a Top Workplace is good for morale, but research also shows that such companies attract more highly qualified job applicants and retain employees longer.
“Top Workplaces awards are a celebration of good news,” Energage CEO Eric Rubino said. “They exemplify the significance of a people-first workplace experience, reminding us that employees are the heart of any thriving organization.”
Any organization with 35 or more employees in the Baltimore area is eligible. And anyone can nominate any organization, whether it is public, private, nonprofit, a school or even a government agency.
There’s no cost to participate. To qualify, employees evaluate their workplace using a short, 24-question survey that takes about five minutes to complete. Companies will be surveyed through September.
Nominations are due by July 19, but don’t delay. Nominate your workplace as soon as possible and see whether it has what it takes to make the list or even top it this year.
