Did you mean to nominate your employer for this year’s Top Workplaces awards but time slipped away? There’s still time.
Any organization with 50 or more employees — be it a public or private company, a nonprofit or a government agency — is eligible to compete for one of our awards. Standout companies will be honored this fall in a special section of the newspaper and at our annual awards ceremony.
There is no cost to participate. To qualify, employees evaluate their workplace using a 26-question survey that takes just a few minutes to complete. Companies will be surveyed through July.
Anyone can nominate an outstanding employer or find more information about the awards by visiting statesman.com/nominate or calling (512) 551-0614.
Winners are ranked in three size categories. They earn recognition if their survey score exceeds national benchmarks and ranks among the top tier of surveyed organizations. The benchmarks are set by Energage, our Pennsylvania-based research partner. It conducts Top Workplaces surveys for media in 70 markets nationwide and surveyed more than 2 million employees at more than 8,000 organizations in the past year.
Last year, more than 3,000 organizations in the Austin area were invited to survey their employees and 115 earned recognition as Top Workplaces.
The top winners by size category were JBGoodwin Realtors (large employers), Ally Medical ER (midsize employers) and Christie’s International Real Estate | @properties Lone Star (small employers).
